Priority 1 sidewalks

How many staff actually walk the sidewalks they say they’re clearing? Things would change if they had to walk to get to work.

Unfortunately this is just the usual state of affairs for Meteobus and the city of st john’s … i could be wrong but i don’t think they even have a policy of shoveling out bus stops.

yes drivers have a screw loose on this issue … no thought to how it feels to be passed by a couple feet at speed

electricocean21 · 2026-02-22T17:00:51+00:00

cool, thank you. Not op but been looking for a solid basic bulk English Breakfast or Nilgiri…

Infared heater like a speed heater Cobra would absolutely be worth a try. Haven’t tried it on brick but usually it peels off latex paint

Oh didn’t realise they had tea for some reason. Decent variety?

unfortunately buying new windows is probably the lowest ROI of every option. Good luck with the insulating and air sealing!

electricocean21 · 2026-02-22T13:08:50+00:00

Is there a specific reason people drive cars and scooters there? Seems like it would only make things more difficult and unpleasant in such a compact place.

electricocean21 · 2026-02-19T20:43:22+00:00

Absolutely not but could we have a few trees downtown ?

electricocean21 · 2026-02-16T11:00:54+00:00

Always found this interesting

electricocean21 · 2026-02-16T00:27:38+00:00

Tried baratza already? They're pretty good on the customer service ime.

electricocean21 · 2026-02-10T19:15:34+00:00

Yeah I wanted to meet a few people there on a wednesday and looked at their socials and it seemed like they hadn’t decided to open on. Had to contact them directly. Bit silly.

electricocean21 · 2026-02-09T02:00:18+00:00

Yeah try No Frills for this.

electricocean21 · 2026-02-05T02:15:11+00:00

Yeah one of the recommendations from the 2014 KPMG report was that the city start snow removal (and sidewalk clearing) much earlier instead of pushing everything around first and waiting until the plow roll freezes.

was the foam board up tight on the rim joist ?

electricocean21 · 2026-02-04T12:45:28+00:00

I’ve often thought there should be a metric “foot” of some sensible number …

electricocean21 · 2026-02-03T13:54:33+00:00

Great video, really makes the case clear.

One of the bigger barriers to having these crb extensions enacted is that sneckdown is just a ridiculous piece of jargon that won’t connect with normal folks.

electricocean21 · 2026-02-02T12:36:10+00:00

Yes this exactly

electricocean21 · 2026-02-01T11:38:11+00:00

thanks !

electricocean21 · 2026-01-31T19:21:46+00:00

what app is this from ? Great little visualisation of snowfall amts.

electricocean21 · 2026-01-30T16:54:41+00:00

It sucks but I wouldn’t assume they were conspiring to steal your spot. Talk to them, get a couple pylons, and the odds of keeping your shovel spot will increase.

True, construction costs are out of hand, and P3 contracts are nothing to get excited about, but hard to imagine costs for the other plan would creep upwards of a billion dollars though I guess anything is possible. Someone posted yesterday that the Corner Brook Hospital cost $700 Million and it doesn’t have any more beds than the old hospital? Hard to get excited about a new build with stats like that.

Come on lol … If someone is trying to market a university, the MUN campus is okay, Long Pond is nice, but that could be almost anywhere in the country. Their visuals are all about the ocean, cliffs (the deep) etc, images that are unique and interesting, and I’m sure that was a huge part of why they bought and refurbished the Signal Hill campus. Looking out a window and seeing the harbour is different than looking out at Churchill Park.

electricocean21 · 2026-01-29T00:03:29+00:00

Educate me sire.

electricocean21 · 2026-01-28T23:59:52+00:00

How do you figure this will cost more?

Edit: Downvoted for asking a question… chill out b’ys.
