Regina uses plows that have a blade in front that closes and will not open until it is clear of your driveway so it does not make windrows. It can be done. And the property taxes are one third of the lower mainlands. I do not know how municipalities here can be so wasteful and inefficient.   I am sure there are dozens of people getting paid at city hall putting in long hours having meetings discussing the snow problem. Not actually removing the snow. Just talking bout it. It will melt eventually. Then they will give themselves a raise to reward their hard work at having all of these meetings.
