Here’s a suggestion: The road crews need to be dispatched to the areas where they are needed the most, and the soft snow on the sides of the roads need to be cleared more often (not saying anything against the crews, they just do what they’re told) The ruts on Villard have been so bad, and the drifts on the side of the road were so deep, people were sliding right into them. The other day, my husband and I rescued 2 different ladies who had slid into the drifts. The first girl had a baby in the back seat, the back end of her car was out in the traffic lane, and she had been waiting for the police for 15 minutes before we got there. We were the first people to stop and offer help.
