Default Most Thankless Job in Calgary - Director of Roads

Here's a decent interview by The Sun with Ryan Jestin, the director of roads in Calgary.

But having endured the chill of a public peeved over slippery roads and treacherous side-streets, Jestin admits he gets a little hot under the collar watching the morning rush hour after an overnight dump of snow.

"The other side is it's a shared responsibility on the road -- it's incumbent upon drivers to take the extra time to get to work," said Jestin.

"I commute in the morning, and I like to see the roads in pristine shape, but I also like to see drivers who are driving in accordance with the conditions. "To be honest, it's a little frustrating to see the number of folks who'll drive on summer tires or all-season radials and think it's okay."
