Public Works

Dear Editor: With all appreciation to the city public work department, please show respect to the property owners when doing public work around the city. 

A team of three have come to my property Friday morning and aggressively cut many branches of spruce tips tree and salmonberry bushes while clearing the area around a ditch, exposing part of my yard, without any notice or any sort of communication. 

I think there is a better way of managing such a task. Thank you!
