Please email your councillor. It helps a lot to get changes made.

They like to do those later it seems due to the brushing of grass etc., but I ask again, WHY are the key areas of our city not prioritized, done first and then go random if you like.

Does it? I've probably asked this on this forum and shared it widely for over a decade. Also, the fact that we have to ask these questions is baffling.

It's an election year so the councillors damn well better listen if they want us to vote for them.

It's less about that and more about those planing the process.

Drove in from the airport yesterday, nothing really done, walterdale a mess.
Can someone please tell TransEd to powerwash and remove the significant amounts of dirt and gravel from all along their line? 102 from ECC to 97st is a mess.
Did we not want to maybe get some of these areas done in advance of that global hydrogen conference?

How are we looking downtown these days Ian? I was at the Bush concert......surprisingly - there only a handful of degenerates lurking from the HSBC parking garage to Rogers and back again. 100 St was not swept at the time and the Valley line tracks still looked post apocalyptic. Not gonna lie, what irks me more than anything else - is the state of McDougall Hill rd. It has been needing a re-pave job since they re-did it the late 80's - when that little concrete wall was built. Prior to that it was literally a dissolved curb that prevented no-one from driving over the bank.

The current bunch has been remarkably consistent over the last few years, they are fairly resistant to public input. I feel it will be up to voters to find better listeners.

I take it to work pretty much every day. My shocks, suspensions, struts all cry UNCLE! when I use it.

So what do we have in mind for this? I really doubt that the Tim Cartmell Party, which is preaching to voters in the suburbs, is going to have any interest in investing in Downtown. O'day-min might (?) have a decent independent candidate in Anand Pye, but in most of the city the incumbents are up against Cartmell's folks and far-right nutjobs, and under those circumstances I would take the incumbents every time.

TransEd, where are you?
105st not done as a main gateway into the core, Heritage trail not done.

Sent another email and 311.

I rode the VLSE today and it was embarrassing how bad it looked, especially given that the City has done some areas around it.
Is there a reason for this delay or is it an accountability issue?

Instead of calling 411, go directly to their office and complain.

Is TransEd even responsible for it's cleanliness or the city?
