Over the past week, the warm weather and sunshine has melted half of the winter's buildup of ice and snow on neighbourhood streets.
It's a little rough driving, but not more than a slight inconvenience.
The coming week with expected temperatures in the double digits would likely be enough to melt the rest.
People are again parking on the streets, expecting that snow clearing is done for the season.
But today the grader and loader are working my neighbourhood, scraping the remaining ice and slush to the side, and the vehicles parked at the curb are being towed.
Note to city council and city management: it isn't required that you must spend all of the snow clearing budget, especially if Mother Nature is doing the job for free. This seems to be a waste of money, especially for a city strapped for cash.
Am I missing something?
