The Editor:
Sometime ago I sent a letter in regarding the street sweeping calling the street sweeper a snake as it has to move around cars, trucks motorbikes trailers etc. to try and sweep the streets which is very time consuming and I would imagine frustrating to the driver and his job looks like a snake trail.
Sometime in the last three weeks we had a roadwork sign installed on our street and several others in this area. What roadwork I asked myself and kept waiting to see some roadwork. After asking several people who were in the dark like I was I finally had it confirmed that this was the new street sweeping sign.
Great. So when are they coming? What day? and what are the hours? Look as I may at the sign, none of this information was anywhere to be seen if in very small print.
I finally saw the snake come down the street to fill with water at the newly replaced fire hydrant, this area was supposed to be completed at the end of the month and he finally showed up in September.
The sign indicates tow away; this could be a very big problem, as no one stopped parking on the street and they never towed one vehicle as a fleet of tow trucks would be required to clear streets and the hell raised at City Hall about their removal would be overwhelming, as City Hall hates being corrected on anything. They would ignore every one, cancel all the tickets and the same thing will happen the next time if they do not supply information on what days and times they are coming.
The City does not work on Saturday and Sundays and holidays and the signs were still up except the ones that the wind blew down until last week.
The City's motto is:
EFFECTIVENESS - MARK COMES UP 0
EFFICIENCY - MARK COMES UP 0
EXCELLENCE - MARK COMES UP 0
I rest my case,
Dale M.Wetsch
EFFICIENCY MARK 0
