City of Minot & Council Members Response to Pedestrian Snow Removal Failure

There’s good news here. Wednesday’s story on the weeks-long lack of snow removal along Minot’s pedestrian corridors and river crossings prompted action. Overnight, snow was removed from paths on the 3rd St. NE Viaduct and Broadway Bridge. Work remains in other parts of town, but it’s obvious a directive to do better was delivered and answered.

Prior to publishing the original story, I reached out to the City with a request to comment. That response was not available at the time of publication on Wednesday but was provided yesterday. Additionally, I reached out to elected officials for their comments. Council Members Podrygula and Burlingame provided responses. Read all the responses below.
