I spend multiple hours over multiple days clearing the piles of snow that were plowed into my driveway by the City plows in my cul de sac. Yesterday, I had cleared it all. Then, a plow came and blocked half of my driveway again while also fully covering my mailbox as to be completely inaccessible. The end of my street would have been in better condition if it had never been plowed. If the drivers are unwilling or unable to move the snow into the areas between houses, then why bother doing it at all? I'm only requesting some common sense here. I appreciate the road crews, but if the turning radius is too tight for the plow to even function, then maybe only plow the straightaways.
After the snow storm two weeks ago, the street in front of my house was cleared, but not the dead end part of Brookside Drive that is beside my house. I e-mailed Joe Van Deventer, Director of Street Operations, to ask if that was an error or a new policy. I received no reply. I need to know the answer, so that I can attempt to reverse the policy if the policy for clearing snow from dead end streets has changed. As you can see in the satellite photo, I was forced to hand shovel 40 yards of Brookside Dr. to "get out" even 2-3 days after the snow storm.
Snow plow street damage at street drain
There is a large pothole on the north side of the circular median between 500 and 501 South Arbutus that needs to be filled in. This pothole is caused in part by city garbage, recycling, and snow plow trucks that are too large to turn around in in the cul-de-sac. I reported this problem earlier this week. The ticket was marked as "resolved" but nothing was done.
Damaged sidewalk is a trip hazard
Loose asphalt from pothole repair washed onto sidewalk creating hazardous condition for pedestrians. High Street just north of Southdowns, south of Woodstock.
Several cracked and upheaved squares if sidewalk, north side of 700 University Street, east of S. Fess.
Sidewalk raised 4" at this address. West side of street.
Sidewalk pushed up. Pedestrian hazard.
