I live on an important road, with respect to the fact that there are government run buildings or complexes further up the road. So, when there is any snowfall they clear the roads and have them in tip top condition. This I have no complaint over, it is the roads in downtown Chilliwack that are the SHITS. I mean they are horrendous, not to mention the people that drive on them. I was born in London Ontario when this would be considered only a light sprinkle of the white stuff; it is still here and many of the roads are still covered and there doesn't seem to be any real interest in doing a damn thing about it.
What is worse is the complex I live in, the paperboy, mailman, and the garbage people have all complained because it is downright hazardous. There are ruts in the road where it melted and then froze; we are talking about 20-30 cm high ruts. This is not bad for me, but this complex is full of the elderly, and how the hell are they supposed to drive, let alone walk to the corner to check their mail, that is if it gets delivered because the mailman won’t come in and deliver!!
