I think that most people would just rather stand around moaning and wait for Nenshi to personally drive by in a plow than properly equip their vehicles for winter.
I think that the city's response to storms for the past couple of winters has been exceptional, and whatever they are doing, should be continued. But this whole business of caking everyone's side street in gravel and salt, plowing most of it away, hauling it away, and then caking in more gravel and salt was a waste of time and money on a lot of roads. On some it was necessary though, but it just seemed to be excessive. But it was a direct result the usual "I want my road bare of snow, but don't raise my taxes" routine.
