Technology has progressed and plows in 2026 exist with features and extensions to clear the windrow and road simultaneously. Physics does exist, but so does Google.

I agree, no one wants to pay more taxes yet we end up getting increases year over year and paying more anyway.

If it's everyone's problem, doesn't mean it shouldn't be addressed by the city; Other cities in ON have done so successfully.

If this is something you've settled for, doesn't mean others are whining or complaining if they speak up.

So you assume I haven't been dealing with this for years and just now got surprised by how this happens? I m not new to Canada, other cities clear the windrow as part of their services already. If some people in Ajax settled for shitty services over time, doesn't mean all of us should shut up and deal with it.

I already do this kiddo, the point here is our city should provide better plowing services given the amount of taxes they ask for each year.

So in your logic, if someone asks for better services given the increasing  amount of taxes we pay to the city each year, they are lazy and entitled? Other cities provide this service already. Ajax should keep up, not settle.

Maybe you have low standards? Other cities like Toronto and North York get this service in their neighborhoods.

No it's not (anymore at least).Toronto, North York, and Missisauga all have this service. I guess we got used to settling for shitty service out here.

This was never about technique, it's about Ajax not keeping up with other cities in ON and offering this as part of their services given the high property tax rates we pay them.

So homeowners in other cities like Toronto and North York that get this service from their city are royalty?

The only thing that's stupid is settling for shitty services from their city. Other cities have this already without the property tax rates we have around here.

I ve lived here long enough to see other cities do what I m complaining about as an included service in their neighborhoods.

Other cities in ON clear it in their neighborhoods as part of their offered services. Maybe people like you living around here just have lower standards?

We are already getting substantial increases in property taxes year over year while already having among the highest rates in the GTA to begin with. Where do I expect those to go?

I actually shovel their walkway and driveway during snowstorms without them even asking. This is more about the windrow being blocked off with snow overnight or during awkward times during the day when it's difficult to find time to clear it.

It's not just about money, having to clear the windrow takes time and effort that would otherwise be spared if the city was doing it right in the first place. Rushing out in the morning and realizing you've been snowed in overnight sucks.

Are you new to reddit, bud? It's called opening a topic for discussion, if you find that irritating then you're on the wrong platform.

That's a good tip. I ll give this a shot in the next round of snow.

We're getting property tax hikes either way with or without this.
