The Edmonton Method - Snow Removal

[ChazYEG]

That’s confusing to hear because Ottawa is often touted as one of the best for snow clearing, has WAY faster clearing by policy (24-48hrs vs 5-10 days for us), and anecdotally I have 2 friends that grew up in ottawa and they always complain how much worse it is here vs Ottawa.

I wonder why it was so bad for your trip.

It was weird because the major freeways were in really good shape, which kinda goes to what your friends say and the policy you mentioned, but downtown was absolutely horrendous.

Less snow removal and more clearing in general; this time following a water main break where A TON of mud flooded the area.

We must have a guardian angel! THANK YOU.

Maybe they can word on the 104st side too?

Are guardian angles acute, obtuse or simply right?

Our most critical bike lane in the entire city. 102ave (now 103).

2 days since snow.

Almost fell numerous times. Not sure how this can’t be maintained…

The clearing on 103 has been so much worse than 102 was before the closure.

I wonder if it's being done by the city, or by a subcontractor to Marigold? Or perhaps nobody knows who is supposed to be doing it...
