Streets inaccessible due to snow

This Thursday, November 21, the observation is alarming: snow continues to fall in Sainte-Geneviève, and with it, traffic difficulties. According to the mayor, Daniel Vereeckethe salt spreader is involved in an incident on the RD1001 with a company car. “Although the gritter was not supposed to work on this road, it was struck while crossing to other streets,” he explained. After this incident, it is now impossible to guarantee the salting of certain arteries in the town, which complicates the lives of motorists.

No school transport for students

In parallel with traffic problems, the municipality also announced on its social networks an interruption of school transport. Kindergarten and primary school students will not be able to benefit from school buses this Thursday evening due to weather conditions and the accident which immobilized the salt spreader. The mayor expressed his apologies for this unexpected inconvenience and called on his constituents to prudence on the roads.

Routers and municipal services must be able to act promptly to avoid such inconveniences. Sainte-Geneviève is now facing a challenge that could extend beyond this isolated incident, prompting authorities to think about sustainable solutions to ensure the safety of its citizens in winter.
