I don't buy it. I saw exactly one sander on the opposing direction Deerfoot trail. There was no evidence of sanding or any road treatment on my side of Deerfoot. Nor was there on Country Hills Blvd, Stoney Trail, Sarcee, Highway One, etc.. And the Bow Trail hill, OMG, you should have seen that... hundreds of cars going nowhere. How many major roadways do we have in the city on steep hills? And yet the City never manages to do anything to prevent the chaos on Bow Trail that happens EVERY snowfall.
Sorry, I have to go find someone to punch now.

There is no way you can instantly sand/plow every major road in Calgary during rush hour. How do you expect them to plow Crowchild when it is a parking lot? I know Glenmore was plowed by the time I got to it.
Perfection costs a lot of money. Gotta pick your battles and I for one am glad that we don't plow every street 2-3 times on a day like today, need something to stem the tide of rising taxes.
