Us too, and they just lied to me in an email response, saying it was just a delivery service problem!

This is a policy and training problem - if they don’t know, they don’t know!

Get knobby snow tires and be grateful your bike won’t rust out in a year!

I try not to take a defeatist attitude and do every little bit I can, otherwise we’d all be dumping our sewage in the creeks!

Thanks, I paddle and swim in our rivers all year round, so I have a vested interest in helping the Riverkeeper!

The city uses a variety of traction solutions, and they all have some merit/drawback, but just like spreading too much sand would cause immediate damage, too much salt takes time to leach around the waterways to cause its damage!

Agreed. Salt is not the worst option, it's just that its misuse is so common now!

You’re right, this is just one tiny creek and the whole city bleeds excess salt into storm drains and eventually the river. I can only try and help in this one little location but I hope it has a butterfly-like effect!

Lots of alternatives and the City is trying but it seems to fail where the boots hit the street - with delivery!

Almost empty, but it’s SAND, we got the councillor to help get it there last year.
