The city should really put some warning signs for those metal sheets . Last night i almost swerved into an armored truck to avoid those things on Beddington Blvd. My car would have definately been damaged if i hit that thing head on. Dim street lights, no warning, 2am and giant metal plates :thumbsdow

[brett_00civic]

ya they are brutal, the city better pay for my repairs

[lsc2g]

yea they are all over right now.. bummer on the damage dude

ps.. don't you love how calgary roads have 2 seasons.. full of rocks/ice/crap and construction... thats all we get.. :nut:

mcleod south probably won't be paved for another 2 years, just look at mcleod north :thumbsdow

they were actually repaving it today i think

[^SkylinE^]

yep a section by sudance has fresh pavement!!!!:thumbsup:

Hopefully they keep it rolling tomarrow and get it all done! lol 3 years after they started.

I doubt the city'll give you anything. Last time I tried to file a claim, they went and fixed the road the next day and then told me that they had no record of construction ever happening on that section of road.

I ripped the exhuast off my Volvo last week on Macloed Trail. The road was graded so a manhole was sticking up. My hanger just caught it and mangled up the back half of my exhaust system. Had to get it all replaced this week. $$ I didn't want to be spending on beater car.

Everyone passes me :(

its getting paved, july 30,31, and aug 1st

saw the signs today, but ya that suckx about the car, i would claim it

[n1zm0]

yeh, i saw a guy in his yellow Boxtser fly thru one on Glenmore near Costco, then AFTER he goes over the plates he slows down :dunno:

[schurchill39]

Man those things are harsh. Around here they dont even bother with them, they just leave big fucking trenches and dotn have signs until people complain then they have a sign RIGHT beside the trenches that you think are for something ahead... they arnt. The city is a bastard no matter which one it is.

[brett_00civic]

IF the city doesnt pay for my shit, ill be pissed.... i toke pictures and everythjing so if they gove me something like road construction never happened there, ill freak...but ya im driving like 20 there as well, u get alot of weird looks, but hwatev... ps, thats brutal about your exgaust man

[caddywanker]

The city wont pay for shit! Guaranteed, so don't get your hopes up. I hit my 98' CL in a pothole about a 3 foot circle and over a foot and a half deep in canyon meadows when I was 16. I had pictures, measured the hole (i hit it at about 60 km/h at midnight). They denied my claim and said that "road crews had already been notified and were dispatched to put up warning signs just after 11pm that night!!! Bull Shit! That hole nearly ripped my wheel off my car, caught my front shrouding, my cost was over $3000!! And I aint seen no fucking potthole grow that big over night. Good luck though, baybe their attitudes have changed in 5 years?!?!?:dunno:

I used to have to avoid that shit on the left everytime. I believe that section of road has been paved over so its not as bad anymore :)
