Don't tell me to get snow tires, because it isn't happening. I'm tired of the city dumping SALT on SNOW, when it should be dumped on ICE. Get the plows out, and clear the dang snow!
I would gladly pay more in my taxes (I believe a report from Global said somewhere in the range of $40 per person, per year) to have clear roads in the winter. This depending on the chinook is a joke.

Good luck with that. Calgary is one of the largest area size cities in the world. It's like why does our transit system suck compared to other big cities.
Only solution. Stop building out! and start building up! that or the ideal plan is incrementally increasing property taxes the further you live from the core. Suck it Auburn bay or whatever it's called.
