Except… the water will not drain away from that “edge of the walk”. The initial water flow will be “soaked up” by the snow at the edge of the walk which will in turn freeze into an insulated impermeable curb/ice dam which will hold water and allow it to back up over the walk and then freeze...

Now that we have all survived the shortest day of the year, I would like to extend greetings for: Merry Christmas... Happy Chanukah... Grateful Kwanza... Joyful Solstice... Whatever you choose to celebrate or not celebrate, may you and your families and your friends each enjoy the holiday...

I beg to differ. During and after any major snowfall, the majority of that snow is turned into meltwater which does indeed flow down the ramp. Most ramps also incorporated channels to direct that flow. Only a relatively small portion of what falls is vaporized. If you don’t believe me, stand...

Of course all of that melted/sublimated water has to go somewhere or it will simply pool and refreeze slicker and thicker when the system is turned off. This might work in theory (there’s lots of parkade ramps that use similar systems albeit with drains at the bottom) but my guess is this ship...

It’s too bad their more probably doesn’t include better math skills… :(

Zenari’s is operating the coffee bar in Zocalo’s on 95th Street. Their coffee prices are reminiscent of the 1990’s and servings are generous! There’s seating in front of the coffee and on the nursery side of the store.

The last time the United States formally declared war, using specific terminology, on any nation was in 1942, when war was declared against Axis-aligned Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania, because President Franklin Rooseveltthought it was improper to engage in hostilities against a country without...

No Bilbao effect? Firstly, Bilbao is four times as large but more importantly it's usable gallery space is eight times as large as AGA (and the ratio between the total and the usable is also much higher. Secondly, while Bilbao's architecture is spectacular - and not derivative - Bilbao...

I think there are a number of fundamental problems with the AGA. The building itself is more than 8,000 square meters but has less than 3,000 square metres of actual gallery spaces that are quite disjointed. While this is an increase from what was in the previous gallery, the relationship...

Sooo... Demetrios Nicolaides sent a letter to "Alberta Parents". Ignoring how he managed to get a list of Alberta Parents in order to send them such an obviously partisan political message, the contents of that message are particularly disturbing. "This is a special season to celebrate the...

^ Wait, what? “…new cross-river vehicle conveyances in terms of new high level bridges -- one connecting 109th Street in a straight-as-an-arrow path between north side 109 and south side 109, and another in a direct route aligned with 99th Street from a site west of the Convention Centre (this...

^ aw c'mon Ted. I've spent my career dreaming of things that could be done and doing my best at seeing as many of them as possible come to fruition. If you don't mind my blowing my own horn in response to your insult, my success ratio is actually pretty good even though there were many who...

Not to throw water on anyone's dreaming but... The low level bridge tandem handles more than 40,000 vehicles a day with slightly more northbound than southbound and those numbers are expected to grow. The northbound tandem is expected to be done next year and the year after that we can...

While I would agree that the byelection "should go" Liberal, our history of cutting our noses off to spite our faces (both federally and provincially) has me wonder if "probably go" might be a touch too optimistic.
