You obviously missed the news reports when they talked about this, and the threads here. The estimated cost to the tax bill to plow the residential streets after every snow fall was closer to $60 per homeowner per year. Never mind would I be willing to pay that, but I also don't need it done after every snowfall. 2 or3 times per year would be fine. That would also address the issues of not enough staff when the big snowfalls hit.

First off, if you don't even live in Calgary why is it your concern? Secondly, the primary issue here is safety. Inconvienience asside, my complaint is about how the city is looking to spare a few dollars over safety. Yes, some people complain about many things. However what did you expect to read when coming into a "rant" thread?
