We See

City hired a local truck to ‘push snow on sidewalks’?

Whatever – it broke down

  Electrically heated sidewalk

 

The plow might be an improvement – though almost as much snow on sidewalks – still probably does not throw snow as far up on sidewalk as do the larger City trucks with fixed front blade

And Oil (presumably hydraulic) was leaking pretty badly onto street and then into sewer system – on its way out into the ocean 

 

Pulp prices sky rocketing

Part of this perhaps explained by declining value of US currency --- some people say local pulp mill could make $ at anything above 400$ so lots of potential here

 

 

Foundation Problems?

Mall Entrance way – and I hear it is not only the ‘flooring’ that is sagging – also supports

 

Feuding Neighbors – a common problem?

One neighbor has ‘complained’ about a trailer behind another neighbors property on City ‘Sewer line’ easement --- presumably the arguments go back for over a decade – and City feels must order the offending item removed ---

 

These sports vehicles etc all look to be on private property while the mess next door is actually on City property (I suspect)

 

It is these kinds of arguments the city will get drawn into by not enforcing bylaws unless/ until someone makes a formal complaint

 

Thus it is easy for some neighbors to use the City to attack another neighbour even though the one attacked is less in ‘wrong’ --- and often I see ‘newer’ homes complaining about older homes in their vicinity --- and using City to force others to ‘upgrade’ their properties --- a better solution would be to apply same standards throughout city – especially as now have 2 new Bylaw officers

Thus contractor hired to push snow on sidewalks?

How ‘green’ are heated sidewalks’?

Pulp prices just keep climbing

More than Green Apple have foundation problems
