I've lived in Calgary since 1974 and somehow we survived all those winters without this hugely expensive effort to placate a vocal minority of whining motorists.

Coming soon to this space: Whining taxpayers.

Thank goodness! Although there's bound to be some short term pain, plowing residential streets is long overdue. It's amazing to think it's taken almost 100 years for the city and it's residents to realize snow removal should be a much higher priority.

So we wait unti the side streets are completely plugged with snow.

I live in Captal Hill and yesterday the army of snow removal eqipment came through, even though we didn't need clearing. As I walked around the blocks today, I noticed all the damage that the graders and the small skid steer did to the sidewalks in the district. Who has to pay for these sidewalks to be repaired? Is it necessary to remove snow and ice all the way to the curbs?
By removing the snow and ice all it will do is increase the speed and the amount of traffic, cutting through our district to get to either 24 Ave, 20 Ave, 19St and 14 St. Save us!!!!
