This winter there has been a range of snowfall levels. Throughout, the plowing effort has seemed as good or better than in the past. In the past things were good.
Ramsey's public works staff has gotten the job done. Clearing the end of the driveway after the plow has been by always is necessary, but is also good exercise for the winter.
Pothole problems happen. It is too early to do much about them, but other places seem to have an even worse problem. In Elk River driving the stretch of Jackson Street from School Street into the area between Highway 10 and the river, shows nothing unique, but potholing that seemed worse than any I have seen in Ramsey.
In general, the Ramsey Public Works people have most certainly earned their pay, and done well. They seem well managed and diligent.
