Resident trapped by 'wall of ice' after city plow blocks driveway

OrilliaMatters

These city plow guys do this constantly in this city, most probably SHOULDN'T be plow operators, they have no regard for elderly or disabled people that may need emergency vehicles to access their driveway. For the taxes we pay as homeowners here with mostly nothing returned, at least the city could do a decent job in the winter regarding street and sidewalk plowing.

COLUMN: Why are Orillia’s sidewalks impassable days after snowfall?

OrilliaMatters

I said it before, I'll say it again, whoever is in charge with supervision of the plowing and maintenance of this city's streets, should be fired! Terrible terrible plowing and sidewalk maintenance in Orillia, obviously there is inadequate supervision, all you need to do is drive around and see messy sidewalks, lanes taken up with snowbanks and sloppy roads with buildups of slush.

11 Toronto driving schools have licences revoked by province

OrilliaMatters

Good, the ministry of transportation also needs to check themselves as well, apparently it's not truly checking itself before handing out licenses also. Numerous times I've noticed many many drivers who don't seem to know the rules needed to be given this right. Passing school busses illegally, not pulling to the side for emergency vehicles, following far too close...ect ectIt's mostly common sense which people seem to lack far to much nowadays

Snow squalls, blowing snow expected to continue through tonight

OrilliaMatters

It's only January 2nd....and I'm totally sick of winter already, I'm so glad I bought a brand new snowblower end of last year, it's been put through it's paces already...and still most the winters ahead of us.
