clearing snow, I have already spoken several times here. Calgarians are very critical of the means used by City of Calgary during snowfall. Many say that never even a snowplow or sander not happening in his community (which is false, only residential roads are not plowed). In contrast, the City proposes to increase taxes to realize a larger snow removal, 4 of 5 Calgarians speak out against ... the French have uen reputation of moaners, but in some ways, Calgarians (or is it wider?) are not bad either!
He enormously snow for a week in Calgary, has a rare frequency, and record amounts (up to 20cm in some areas last Friday and 15-20 cm on average that day, so that it rarely falls more than 4-5 cm at once). Generally, residential roads are not plowed by the City (except highway considered at risk, and those relatively frequented), which has a budget of $ 24 million per year for 8000 km of track. 6000 km of tracks are they, never cleared (by the City, I insist, because we see good Samaritans regularly plow the roads with their own pickup).
Calgary is a Canadian city that spends less money on snow removal, per capita:
- Calgary, AB: $ 24 / h, 127 cm of snow per year.
- Saskatoon, SK: $ 25 / h, 105cm of snow per year.
- Toronto, ON: $ 27 / h, 133 cm of snow per year.
- Regina, SK: $ 30 / h, 116 cm of snow per year.
- Winnipeg, MB: $ 44 / h, 111 cm of snow per year.
- Edmonton, AB: $ 62 / h, 124 cm of snow per year.
- Ottawa, ON: $ 76 / h, 222 cm of snow per year.
- Montreal, QC: $ 84 / h, 226 cm of snow per year.
- Vancouver, BC: 47 cm of snow per year.
- Yellowknife, NWT: 165 cm of snow per year.
- Quebec, QC: 317 cm of snow per year.
Airdrie With respect, we find that the snow removal is clearly nickel, with a plow truck that passes even in our little street a bit clueless, and the day after each snowfall. And in regard to snow removal in front of anyone? As I already stated, you have 24 to 36 hours after the last snowfall in Calgary, Airdrie and 48 has. I do not know about Calgary, but Airdrie, people remove snow on the same day, sometimes even when it is snowing again, it's pretty amazing!
