In heavy snow fall pull out the secondary plan book which moves priorities around. It tells the snowplow operators to not cover that stretch of Ottawa street, and takes one of the tractor/dump truck teams from DTK to clear that stretch of Ottawa St. When done, they go back to DTK. No extra equipment needed, just a rejigging of priorities.
Yes, more snow than usual causes problems, but it can still be planned for and to not do so is, to put it bluntly, incompetence.
This problem though would appear to be a regional or GRT/Grandlinq issue, not City of Kitchener. I'm not even sure if the city would be allowed to do snow removal on those tracts.
Either way, hopefully something was learned from this snow event.
I didn't say to have the city clear the tracks, though. I was only talking about clearing the road in a way that does not involve dumping it on the tracks.
