That’s confusing to hear because Ottawa is often touted as one of the best for snow clearing, has WAY faster clearing by policy (24-48hrs vs 5-10 days for us), and anecdotally I have 2 friends that grew up in ottawa and they always complain how much worse it is here vs Ottawa.

I wonder why it was so bad for your trip.

It was weird because the major freeways were in really good shape, which kinda goes to what your friends say and the policy you mentioned, but downtown was absolutely horrendous.

Less snow removal and more clearing in general; this time following a water main break where A TON of mud flooded the area.

We must have a guardian angel! THANK YOU.

Maybe they can word on the 104st side too?

Are guardian angles acute, obtuse or simply right?

Our most critical bike lane in the entire city. 102ave (now 103).

2 days since snow.

Almost fell numerous times. Not sure how this can’t be maintained…

The clearing on 103 has been so much worse than 102 was before the closure.

I wonder if it's being done by the city, or by a subcontractor to Marigold? Or perhaps nobody knows who is supposed to be doing it...

99 Ave between 104-105st.

City maintained walk around my neighbourhood, with a windrow completely covering the sidewalk, a catchbasin, and curb ramp. Below is a summer street view of the same corner. Three 311 reports over the last month (some closed with 'no action required'), and still nothing done. Frustrating.

They sure like to close those reports, eh? I reported an abandoned vehicle on my street that's been causing a bottleneck with all the snow piled up around it. Submitted it on the website twice, called it in, got a ref number, called to check and was told it had been closed. Apparently the City's impound lot is full. I honestly don't understand why they have 311 if it's so completely useless. It's like the beg buttons at some crosswalks - a way to make you feel you have some agency when in reality the damn light will change when it wants to.

I reported my lack of action here this morning.
