Hey guys, what are the steps (besides calling 311) to complain about horrible city of calgary services? Specifically the back lane repair program. The back lane was also not packed, just very loose dirt everywhere.
I think I get more mud on my car/truck than a day out in Waiporous. They have dug is so deep, they changed the grade to all the neighbours garages. Being an old neighborhood in Silver Springs, all the houses are at different grades. Lowering the grade is just going to cause alot of issues, as well.. they are just leaving it as dirt.
Every year when people call 311, they respond saying it will be corrected during the annual back lane repair program. Which ends up being shit work.

This photo shows a hole thats been here for 3 years!!! They NEVER fix it, instead, they leave pylons around it, and fuck up the alley more. This is the other side of our alley, the middle was paved (probably 30 years ago). But this side of the alley has proper gravel packing. The other side where I live does not.
Here is a photo of someone's eaves trough drainage end (whatever you call it) that was torn out during the re-grade, and was left there by the awesome city workers.
Its hard to tell, but they have pretty much created a dirt curb that all neighbors have to climb to get into their garage. They essentially dug it deeper by almost 6-8 inches. Not only that, its uneven, half the alley is 2 inches higher than the other side.
You can tell by the dark (moist) dirt compared to the dry stuff.
This one shows it the best (dirt curb)
I hope this shit is fixed by the next rain/snow fall.. its going to be muddy as fuck.
