The municipal services didn’t manage to spread antiskid materials on all the sidewalks in Chisinau owing to the weather conditions, Ion Burdiumov, head of the General Public Amenities Division, said in the ordinary meeting of officials of municipal services, IPN reports.

Ion Burdiumov noted that the municipal services last week, on December 7 and on December 10, since midnight, engaged 22 vehicles and about 30 persons in the works to spread antiskid materials to improve traction on ice-covered pavements. “In parts, we were unable to treat the sidewalks with antiskid materials as it started to rain at about 8am,” he explained.

“We didn’t stop and worked all night until 10am, while the temperature had been positive.”
