Also, good advice for ya since your in bby - some cars are parking up to 2 feet from the curb because of the snow. Plows can't get through some streets due to it and if they see it they wont even bother to attempt to go down that road knowing they'll hit it. Bylaw says anything over 30cm from a curb is abandonment and can be ticketed and with the current situation it's about to be enforced. People are responsible for shoveling their sidewalks and making sure they properly park. I've gone past hundreds of streets where not a single house has shoveled their sidewalks and if they have they've put it all on the road beside the curb...those that don't shovel better hope someone doesn't slip in front of their house and break a wrist or fall and get a concussion as the homeowner will be fuuuuuucked big time.

we did see a private backhoe 1-2 days ago. he pushed snow to the end of the back lane, then scooped it up and carried it off somewhere i do not know. .. but no sanitation since then. hopefully they will come before the supposed next snowfall comes new years eve?
