Sounds like fun. Go digging under the snowpile the plow put on the side of the road. I, for one, will not be making sure the storm drains are clear.
This kind of helps make a point that I was going to bring up. I think maybe the City needs to rethink plowing. I'm kind of amused by what my street has become with all this snow we've been getting. Plows did their thing during the parking ban, and my back thanks them for not putting all the snow on my sidewalk, but on the other hand, now cars can't park up against the curb, for fear of getting high centered on the windrow. So what are my neighbours doing? Parking beside the windrows, essentially narrowing the width of the street.
Every time a bus goes by, there's a mini traffic jam, because cars have to pull into vacant "parking spaces" to let the bus get by all the cars that are parked 3' toward the center of the street on either side.
Now I know it'd be insanely expensive to run those snow removal conveyor machines, and dump trucks down every street, but there has got to be some kind of solution for this. Any bright ideas out there in CP land? TBQH, this doesn't really affect me, since my truck can handle the windrows (they're not THAT bad), but most cars can't handle them. Nobody is parking a Corolla on the piles in front of my house. They're parking beside them, with really no other option.
