A month or so ago the city repaved my bumpy inner city street. Although they did nothing for a couple of other streets that also needed repaving just a block away.
(These streets have needed paving for thirty years)
I was quite happy not having to dodge potholes out front of my house after they finished.
So late last week I watched surveyors painting little marks all over the corners of my street on this newly laid asphalt.
This week they dug it up. Brilliant.
Is this a make work project or what? Why can they not talk to each other?
No wonder taxes are rising.
Reminds me that just a couple years ago the C of Calgary dropped off a letter stating that we were getting new curbs. In two days. Just $2600 added to our tax bill. I walked the dog up and down the block and my house was the only spot that even needed anything done to the curbing.
Needless to say after a homeowner took a little survey of our street and found no one in favor of this curb replacement,we got on the horn and shut down this unneeded construction.
