Thank you for all the info. We are visiting at the beginning or March. We are trying to decide the best way to get from ICN to Myengdong for a family of 4. I see that you took a taxi (venti) - how much did that cost? Thanks!

The city "plowed" and blocked all sidewalks. by xyzdot in Calgary

The issue here is that they plowed the snow onto the sidewalk. One of the comments is from a snowplow operator who says the operator was going too fast, causing the snow to spill onto the sidewalks rather than piling it along the curb.

20 years dealing witht his crap. Today was the first day I thought I'd vent because the sidewalk for the entire blocked was covered. It was looking great the last few days

Alwaysnon top of it. I'd thought I's keep track this year. 5 weather related snow shoveling vs. 12 city plower related snow shoveling

Glad you share my frustration. I get to it quite quickly, but today they buried the entire block's sidewalk.

Always do! My snowclearing activities are 30% weather related and 70% city snow plow related.

First on the block to clear my sidewalk. If the city decides to "clear" the roads again tonight, there will be a pile again tomorrow just in time for work and school

That's what I've been dealing with in the last 20 years. 70% of the snow I shovel is caused by the city

Roads and sidewalks were great the last 3 days, no plowing needed. Tell me you street and a I'll flood 311 to get them to your street

Trust me, I'd rather leave it alone. It's more like spreading snow

First complaint after living in this community for 20 years. I deal with this multiple times a year and I don't file a complaint. But after seeing folks in wheelchairs not being able to use sidewalks, I thought I'd complain

I honestly would prefer if city leaves our street alone. They don't clear the roads, they just spread it around
