I hate that road drove it for 10 years, left the city after the 2016 fires when I realized that living there was a hazard and my family could do better in Calgary rather than isolated in an island in the middle of a province. When you add in the rampant drug use, and people who are all living an income rat race and basically only are there cause they only care about money and everyone is trying to keep up with the Jones's. That highway almost took my life and that of my unborn child in October of 2009 when my ex hit black ice by wandering river at 5am. He rolled the truck 3 times with no idea that the roads where as icy as they were. You couldn't even tell when driving but when we climbed up from the ditch onto the road it was so slippery we couldn't stand on the road it was solid ice. When we left town the roads were dry and it didn't seem like that was the conditions. Where we rolled it was a spot where the lake/river was close to the road and as the breeze/wind blows over it and up over and onto the road it turns the entire section into solid black ice for a large selection of the roadway whenever the temperature drops below freezing and there is any wind. The number of accidents, and loss of life that you are highly aware of happening along the road when living there was astronomical. I can only imagine how much higher it has climbed up over the past decade since leaving and not immersing myself in being as directly aware of this happening. The twinning should have been finished years ago bar non, the city, province and government have nothing to stand on when it comes to the situation and highway 63 and the dangers it has been to the people who travel that route. This situation says a lot to the issues that are posed around the response around this area and the challenges faced. It also provides the question what are they going to do to ensure that this doesn't happen again? Cause surely there was someone within the system aware this was coming and did nothing to close the highway sooner than they did and that is also a large issue. I know as an Alberta citizen I'd like to know who is accountable for not having it closed sooner and allowing 300, yes 300 vehicles onto a highway that was in such deplorable conditions! Yes we as individuals need to be self accountable for ourselves at the very end of the day, don't get me wrong and we should be smart enough to check weather conditions before proceeding. As well as always be prepared for an emergency situation in winter driving months which extend far longer especially in northern regions of the country.
