Fargo is a snow city, and I have long been puzzled by the City's reluctance to install snow gates on its snowplows. Snow gates are little wings on the ends of the snowplow blade that the operator lowers when the plow passes a driveway, keeping the snow on the blade so driveways are kept clear. As it now stands, every homeowner in Fargo must shovel not only their own snow, but also the snow the City plows pile up on their driveway. Devils Lake has snow gates, as does Bismarck. Public Works folks don't like them because they require more maintenance, but I am confident that Fargo's public works people are competent enough to handle the extra hassle in the name of providing excellent service to the city's residents.
