Should Iqaluit be closed in a storm?

I am just appalled that a local businessman was complaining about the city being closed too soon on stormy days.

As it works out, taxis go off the road because there are some areas that are really bad, like the Arctic College corner, the Road to Nowhere, some parts of the Apex Road, and Tundra Valley, so when there are only limited areas open on a stormy day, it is really hard to tell who is going where, and usually, the roads are closed anyway when there is a storm.

As for offices, how are the employees who do not own vehicles going to get to and from work when there are no taxis on the road? I don’t own a vehicle, so I can’t even get to work when taxis are off the road, and I know that I am not the only one who depends on taxis to get to and from work.
