City hears residents’ snow removal concerns

Snow removal isn’t just about plows and piles—it’s about trust between a city and its residents. At Tuesday’s downtown neighborhood meeting, Minot officials acknowledged past missteps and outlined changes already underway, from quicker blade changes to clearer communication. Residents brought frustration, but also cautious optimism. One business owner noted real progress downtown. The city’s message? They’re listening, adjusting, and trying to do better. With winter behind us, the work of rebuilding confidence is just getting started. Jill Schramm with the Minot Daily News has the story on the third of the four planned neighborhood meetings.
