I was shocked and appalled when I watched this testimony during the informational meeting of Galynn Huber (Street Utility manager for the City of Sioux Falls) talking about using snowgates, you can tell he will do everything in his power to make sure they don’t work.
Don’t be a Negative Nancy.
They do work, if you purchase the right ones. In Canada and Idaho, they have used them up to 48″ of snow. The nice part about them is they help homeowners that live on emergency snow routes and corner lot owners. But Galynn seems hellbent on making sure they don’t work. The irony of his testimony is that he doesn’t mention that most of snow removal is done by private contractors. All you simply have to do is write an ordinance that requires them to use them, in other words, THEY HAVE TO PURCHASE THEM OR THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO REMOVE SNOW FOR THE CITY.
I won’t go into detail about all the BS he spews, just watch him talk about how ‘useless’ they are. It is so fanatical you would think he started his own tea-bagger, anti-snowgate group.
It kind of sounds like he is scared of more responsibility. Boo-Hoo.
