Deputy manager of public works with the city of St. John’s, Lynnann Winsor is encouraging people to be patient as city crews work to clear the streets.
She says crews will be working “around the clock” for the foreseeable future. They have done an assessment, and expect all streets to be cleared and widened by 1 p.m. tomorrow.
