I wonder how many of the parked vehicles on the street have no insurance.

While 311 has been great for resident/commercial-maintained winter sidewalk enforcement, the parking enforcement is extremely frustrating. Every. Single. Day. I see vehicles parking blatantly illegally blocking entrances, crosswalks, too close to a corner, or in front of fire hydrants for a few hours during the day, and 9 times out of 10, the 311 complaint is closed with "Vehicle Gone Upon Arrival". And then they (or someone else) are back the next day. And the next, and next...
Literally a carte blanche to park illegally because there is little chance of enforcement. And this extends to parking bans/street sweeping, too. There were a few sections on my bike route that never got done last year because nobody would move their vehicles and the city didn't do anything.

On a positive note, I was surprised to see the 96 Street bike lanes freshly cleared on my bike in to work this morning.

Freshly cleared of snow or gravel/garbage/fentanyl zombies?

City of Edmonton sidewalks… not sidewalks in the city of Edmonton, City of Edmonton sidewalks.
On Jasper Avenue in the heart of downtown…

Not to excuse it but it's likely that pictured segment is to be maintained by the park renewal contractor as per warranty terms.View attachment 732292

If I hire a contractor to maintain the sidewalks in front of my house and he doesn't, the city still considers me responsible and will fine me, not the contractor.
It's a city sidewalk that's open to the public, not a construction site. I should be able to complain to them and how they fix it or who does that for them is immaterial.

Closed - No Action Required.
If I get a ticket for not shovelling my walks, I wonder if I could avoid paying it by saying that in my defence they were still within the standards they set as being acceptable.

Honestly their "reasons" for closing complaints are infuriating.
