On a positive note!: This message was sent to the Village.  The name has been removed. I just wanted to say thank you for the job being done in our neighborhood with snow removal.  I really appreciate how quickly they work on it and the effort they make to not plow snow from the road into my driveway.  At my mom's house in Waukesha, when the plow trucks come through, she will easily have half of her approach filled back up with snow and ice from the road because they just push it along without an apparent care in the world.  It's sometimes a knee high pile!  Surely a little snow pushing in the driveway is to be expected, but the difference between what happens there and what y'all are doing here is quite obvious.     I'm very grateful for the great job y'all are doing!  Thank you again!
