Hi All
Remember the big storm? I think some people might still be digging out from that blast late last year.
City council has been struggling with the fact that a single storm could wipe out the annual snow budget and they're wondering what to do about it.
Some partisan councillors completely rule out raising taxes to improve snow removal while suggesting that the City privatize snow removal efforts to improve effectiveness. (Are these snow removal contractors actually a cover for the ultimate in winter volunteer charitable enterprise? Wow! That's pretty cool! Calgary's snow angels complete with big trucks and stuff!)
Others have pondered blaming citizens with inappropriate tires. With pictures of city buses stuck in snow up to their windows, I wonder what tires those would be.
Well, the solution to the snow removal budget, indeed perhaps the whole road-building budget, appeared in my email inbox. (Please click the link below.) The city could make it mandatory that all citizens with vehicles avail themselves of such technology, wouldn't raise taxes, might even lower taxes and every citizen would have some sort of vehicular bragging rights!
