El Tarter residents demand review of snow‑removal
Residents have renewed complaints to the Comú of Canillo about early‑morning snow‑clearing that they say causes noise and creates road safety hazards.
Key Points
- Repeated complaints to the Comú of Canillo since 2024 over snow‑removal actions in El Tarter.
- Machinery reportedly operates 05:30–08:00 doing non‑urgent tasks, disturbing residents with engine noise and reversing sirens.
- Snow piled at Sa Terrasseta junction and the Tarter CG‑2 on‑ramp reduces visibility and raises risk of head‑on collisions.
- Residents request non‑urgent work be limited to 08:00–22:00 and for a review of snow‑removal procedures to prevent accidents.
Residents of El Tarter have again contacted the Comú of Canillo to report what they describe as inadequate snow-removal actions. The complaints, repeated since 2024, ask both for respect for residents’ rest and for a review of procedures that they say create dangerous situations on public roads.
Their main concern is machinery operating in the early morning hours. Residents say vehicles carry out non‑urgent tasks between 05:30 and 08:00, causing disturbance from engine noise and reversing sirens, and ask that such operations be scheduled during daytime since there have been no significant snow accumulations for days.
They also point to specific safety risks. Snow is reportedly being piled into the downhill lane at the junction by the Sa Terrasseta restaurant, reducing visibility and complicating a mandatory left turn, which could lead to head‑on encounters with traffic coming from the church area. Similarly, they say snow accumulation at the Tarter on‑ramp to the CG‑2 obscures the left side and increases the danger.
Residents conclude by asking that the Comú review the snow‑removal procedures for El Tarter “before we have an avoidable but irreparable accident,” and they reiterate that non‑urgent work should be confined to daytime hours, between 08:00 and 22:00.
