Mayor Jim Parsons says staff didn’t have enough sand and salt trucks ready for the changeover in weather and that isn’t typically done until November 1st.
Yesterday was a tricky day for motorists in the city of Corner Brook. Rain and snow overnight froze quickly and residents woke to a slippery commute. This led to fender benders throughout the city with one vehicle landing on its roof on Maple Valley Road. Mayor Jim Parsons says staff didn’t have enough sand and salt trucks ready for the changeover in weather and that isn’t typically done until November 1st. Once trucks are changed over for sand and salt delivery, they can’t be used for anything else and the city is wrapping up sidewalk and curb work. As well, the Mayor says most motorists don’t have studded winter tires on yet. Studded tires are permitted as of this Friday.
