The town of Fort Frances is adding more resources to help deal with snow removal this winter.
Five contractor trucks will join town crews over the next ten days.
Operations and Facilities Manager Doug Brown says they understand the frustration by some residents, but the town is following its policies.
"We know that we have to react," says Brown, "but there's nothing telling us, other than our policy to prioritize, there's no regulation that we're not meeting. We are doing it to the best of our ability in the most cost effective manner for our community."
Brown says Fort Frances has seen more snow this year than it has over the past few winters.
The town budgets about $500-thousand each year for snow removal.
Brown says it spent more than $320-thousand in 2010, compared with the $47-thousand in 2009.
