Tell him you're from beyond, he is a sponser, and runs an excellent business.

I've narrowly escaped at least 3 massive pot holes this week alone. Shitty you couldn't get around it.

Theres so much whining in this thread. Look at how many construction projects are in progress in the city. There isn't a magical endless supply of labor to fix every problem in the city.

To add to that, every time the city wants to move forward with construction projects the communities that surround the projects protest everything until it suits them personally (ex. West LRT) wasting more $

while i agree, it's still the city's fault, before bronco took office NOTHING was done infrastructure wise, so it really is their own fault... if they'd have kept up with int he first place, we wouldn't be playing catch-up now.

^ It's true that Duerr did nothing during his time in office. But the population growth wasn't forseen either. It's all the new people who moved to this city that are stretching the resources and they should be the ones more heavily taxed.

Number of raods in Calgary vs Quality of roads in Calgary. At this point in time you can only pick one

man that sucks!
One of the reasons I prefer haveing lots of sidewall (the biggest wheels I will use would be 17, but I prefer the look of 16s) and high profile tires.
Good Luck with getting them to pay for it, if they are anything like the people around here (I hope they aren't), you won't even get a response.

Seriously unless you drive the same roads everyday and know exactly where all the potholes are, then you gotta drive real slow to see the on coming pot holes from a mile away.

But I'd blame the winter weather for it too which makes this more of a common problem here than say Vancouver where the asphalt doesn't constantly freeze and warm up during the year and creating cracks and such.

I hit a huge fucking pothole yesterday on westbound Bow Trail leaving downtown in the middle lane (right before you can turn onto southbound Crowchild). Thought I did some damage but it seems okay. Just a heads up as that is a new pothole.

i sent an email to the county... i'll update with any response.

They've tried fixing that before but it keeps coming back. I make sure to pass it before using the Southbound Crowchild ramp now.

There's one on 27th Ave NE east bound (behind 32 ave and Barlow trail near Hooters ). It's been there for months but it's got to the point where it's about a foot deep and would destroy most aluminum wheels.
