We live in Silverton for 10 years. So we had known pretty well the previous maire and while there were things that people might not have been happy with I can say he managed the city much better than the actual team. We live in Abiqua Heights, top of the hill in a cull de sac. Well, in December when we had the last snow we were obligated to stay in the house for 4 days before being able to get out. When we called the city commissioner we were told that because the street is too steep they are afraid to send any one to clean it so if the houses will burn down we will have to manage. Also, if someone gets sick in need of an ambulance we will have to bring the person where it can be picked up by the rescue since no car could come on the street. What time are we living on people? XI-XII century or XXI century! However the taxes that we pay are huge but not spent on what is needed; every 3-4 years we have snow and then we have to miss work and stay in house because no one cares to clean three streets that would give us access out.
On January 1, 2017 we had about 5-6 inches of snow in the afternoon; we tried to clean but it is impossible to clean three streets with shovels. What did the city do? They put a sign that the streets are dangerous and are closed. That obviously resolved all our problems!!! I tried to post on their Facebook a message but obviously it was not allowed due to someone filtering reviews.
They promised letters explaining their vues that we are still to receive. Please, any input? read more
