The Edmonton Method - Snow Removal

[ntt1]

Just a clown show of a day out there in Whikwentowin and west central. Embarrassing. Loved helping to pick up an elderly man who had flipped his scooter in snow on the sidewalk in our densest urban neighborhood of 20k people.

Bike lanes are a joke. Private sidewalks a mess. Alleys horrible. It’s been A WEEK. Wtf.

Beyond frustrated. Happy New Years to everyone but the incompetent COE.

Only safe sidewalks for biking on? Marigold managed ones so it’s confirmed… literally just a skill issue by COE cause marigold figured it out…

Same with the Ledcor-maintained sidewalks near the Capital Line construction. Perfectly clear and maintained, whereas the COE ones nearby are a complete mess.

I cycled from Duggan to Belgravia last night and all the MUPs along my route (111st, 115st, Saskatchewan Dr) were bladed and in great shape. Guess I just got lucky?

Ok, so will any of the windrows in core part of the city get addressed/removed?

On 109st, one of the major arterials into and out of the Downtown, there is no turning lane now to go left onto 87ave while heading north on 109st, so traffic backs up halfway to Whyte. On 109st south of 100ave, there is no left turning lane onto 99ave and so the left lane is now backed up past 100ave at times.

I don't expect all of them to be removed in short order, but how in the world are the major arteries and key areas Downtown not done a week later?
