Chris19 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 That snow rules does apply to everywhere in Metro Vancouver. One of my neighbour didn't shovel his sidewalk from the last snowstorm. The mailman slipped and fell in his property because of that the house owner was fined $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psylocke Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 One of my neighbours has a snow mower...he has a blast with that thing. going up and down the road getting the snow out of everyone's drive way That is so cool. My friend was just telling me how everyone in his parents' neighbourhood pitched in and shovelled all the snow. I thought that was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckyHermit Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Oh, and I can't believe the number of idiots who would shovel their curbs and then pile the snow smack in the middle of the sidewalks. Especially along Granville Street. Thinking only of their precious cars, and not of pedestrians who actually need to use the sidewalks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially along Granville Street. Thinking only of their precious cars, and not of pedestrians who actually need to use the sidewalks. Where should they put the snow though? There are only few options of where to put the snow which includes putting it on the side walk, on the road/street or piling it on their driveway. Unless people can magically make the snow disappear, there aren't a lot of options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what he means is that people are shovelling it onto where people actually walk (the cement) instead of where the grass is.

My house doesn't have a lot of room out front either, but we somehow found a way without blocking the road. I shudder to think about the pedestrians who are forced to walk on the curb lane of Granville Street due to this. Edit: Canuck_83 understood what I meant. Piling it on the grass is fine. Piling it on the cement is not. Edited January 3, 2009 by BuckyHermit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
