City digging out after massive dumping of snow

Yes!Over 100cm in a week is an extraordinary amount, and I was able to get wherever I wanted to go in town during the entire week. That deserves some credit! Many other places would have been completely shut down. If we get a few days with no new snow, we'll see some catching up progressing.

We have received an astronomical amount of snow. The fact the roads are still passable is a feat in and of itself. Not many cities in ontario could cope with the amount of snow we've received. Everyone is doing a great job!

The even more frustrating part is the sleds causing the issues likely don't even have a permit!

Norway is in the thick of it as well right now with similar policies and similar results. Theyve even implemented an "exit tax", if youre leaving with your wealth they tax you one last time. It's certainly a balancing act.

Maybe they should have raised taxes.

I think this can be done at the local level (i.e. parents)... children should be growing up with 0 expectation of privacy on all online devices. You don't have any anyways, it might as well start with the parents monitoring the usage. No "alone" time online, whether that's physically watching or using one of many available apps to monitor this.

The monies raised through tariffs are from the pockets of US citizens and companies, not from other countries.

Good reading comprehension skills, the article never said once they had the right-of-way. It was asking people nicely not to be weenies.That went over your head though.

Having the sewage treated versus leeching into the ground (septic) sounds like an improvement. It's good for everyone to be involved though! Hoping for clear and concise answers and for people to listen to experts on the matter.

What are you suggesting? Don't fix roads so we fan save tax $?How the lanes are painted is pretty secondary to that. And arguably this will save wear and tear, as discussed in the article. Arguing bike lanes are dumb (which they may be) has nothing to do with taxes. Also - we have a chronic speeding issue in this city. Traffic calming measures are not always bad.

Wouldn't one lane each way be better in winter? There was a few times it was one lane anyways due to snow.

That is a common and routine practice, our tower isn't manned 24/7. Many small airports have no tower at all. Pilots are to communicate on a common frequency stating intentions. The crazy thing is this is the 2nd time this has happened in recent memory. Last time was deemed radio issues I believe.https://www.sootoday.com/local-news/airliner-touched-down-with-snow-removal-equipment-on-airstrip-517660
