An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment I have previously called the city in the past and complained about the ploughs and been told it’s not in our budget to offer any form of assistance and to seek private removal, this cannot continue to happen. We pay more taxes then the other areas which the local council are using as a source of their analysis to justify the reason for not providing assistance in correcting mistakes of a city contracted service to dodge their obligations. If garbage was thrown in the road by a malfunctioning garbage truck would the city request residents to clear up the waste absolutely not, why is this any difference. This is a hazard to residents health both from preventing egress in the event of emergencies to possibly causing a person a cardiac event or serious back injury removing the debris
An error occurred while saving the comment The snowfall that has happened over the last few days has resulted in myself clearing the end of the driveway over three times why should I clean up what the government fails to do, we are reminded that we are not owners of the easement and the city can go ahead and dig up our lawns to service sidewalks, buried pipes whenever planning allows. It’s the fault of the city ploughs that cause undue stress and potential harm to residents by dropping obscene amounts of debris let’s not call it snow or ice at the foot of a driveway. In the event of a medical emergency a resident would be prevented from leaving their home because of the obstruction. You pay to have sidewalks cleared why can’t you request from the same team to clear specific homes which the plough has violated it’s clearly the corner homes it’s not extensive amount of time to incorporate this, perhaps the city should have better procurement specialists negotiate with contractors instead of just signing away tax dollars every year and passing this burden down to its residents and waiving the nuisance code as a way of underhand threatening residents that push the snow into the road where it came from and have the cheek to instruct that it be moved to the right hand of the driveway, here’s a thought how about instead of sitting in your warm offices spouting this nonsense you put our tax dollars to work
Similar to others I just want to be informed where my property taxes are being spent because it’s not on things i believe those actually paying property taxes expect it to be spent on. Why is my property taxes being spent on initiatives that do not offer anything an average home owner requires such as maintaining easements, not dumping snow piles and expecting the already taxed property owner to further assist the government in its lack of planning or ability to provide value for money. I fail to see it.
