| yup his solution is up the taxes... so ummm one question. All the taxes we pay go where....... up some guy's nose I bet :angry: the construction they use for these roads is not suitable for our climate, back to the drawing board for those over-paid civil engineers |

| I almost lost a wheel driving on Wayne Gretzky DR the other day. Holy cow, was that pot hole big. They gotta get these things taken care of the right way but we have too many rednecks in power that drive SUV's and trucks so that these holes don't even bother them as much. |

Really? I thought it was those cheapass developers. There was a HUGE 1m x 3m hole at the T-intersection for the longest time. And of course, some dumbasses think that they can ignore the barricades and drive on 167 ave between 127 st and 111 st... |

LoL, that's the idea, the earth is rotating guys, they are just lowering the earths wind resistance so that it speeds up and lowers our gravity level, causing less road friction, which means we will use less gas, and therefore save the environment. See the city is thinking ahead for the future generations by not fixing all these potholes, don't be so selfish guys!!!

| They actually just filled a massive pot hole just a few blocks from my house. :) So they are finally starting. This one was huge though. I'm sure it would have bent just about any wheel that hit it. |

| WookeysRX7 |
| haha.,..... i hate pot holes but man some of them are huge out there, like it almost swallowed my parents 17's that they have on their Bravada!!! It was nuts! :blink: :thumbsdown: |

Ya, they are nuts! FIX THE POTHOLE ETOWN!!! They can start now on the roads that are somewhat clear.... haha :wacko:
My small 16s could get damaged.... *whines to city* |

| I hate to admit it, but it's sooooooooo true, cowtowns roads ARE nicer!!!!!(ones i've driven) but I don't like Calgary for the most part, so I can survive here if my wheel doesn't get stuck in a pot hole, snap off, send me into an innocent parked minivan or something, and then label it as street racing, instead of CITY ERROR IN NOT FIXING POTHOLES! |

uh, that's not true...it's 800 million. the media, blew it out of proportion, and yes you may say, ooo 800 million is close enough to 1 billion, but it's not...it's 200 million dollar difference. that's a lot! that's a 25% difference! |

Actually it is a 25% difference, 200/800=0.25
Anyways, it's not so much what insane amount it is costing, it's the fact that they said it would only cost like $17 Million in the first place.
Anyways, the first time I saw that bat I thought somebody had slammed into a light standard and it was awaiting repair, I honestly thought that until I got up to the corner and saw what it actually was. They spend $80k on that stupid fucking bat, $400k "sprucing" up 118ave, while there are still people starving and freezing to death all over this city. Our city is completely out of fucking whack and I'm getting pretty sick of it. On top of it all, that bat is a fucking eyesore, they put it in the stupidest place, god knows putting the BASEBALL BAT in front of the fucking BASEBALL FIELD wouldn't make sense.

dude! my father's an engineer, my older brother's an engineer, i'm an engineer, and my younger brother's a soon to be engineer...my dad drive's a corolla, and my mom, an oldsmobile. where's the lambo in that equation?! if engineers made made cash, and drove lambos, i'd have no problem studying it in school, but cuz they make an AVERAGE, VERY AVERAGE salary, i always question my decision to get into it...meh. it's good nonetheless. |

Right you are that it's way over budget. Two wrongs don't make a right, and I think if anyone is going to criticize the government for their mistakes and errors, they better present TRUE, FACTUAL information...especially the media. |
