Is there anything that can be done about these super high snowbanks at intersections? I have to make a left turn onto a busy 4 lane road everyday and the snow on the banks is so high I literally can not see whats coming, I have to enter the sidewalk, blocking people who might come up to cross as this turn takes ages to make and you could be at the bottom of the street and get to the crosswalk before i can turn, Not because I don’t yield for crosswalks! So I basically pray nobody is coming and gun it. and I have a small suv, that is higher then a sedan! I’ve noticed this all over the city, It’s awful, and scary! Maybe have some cops drive around and check these while the plowers do their thing? Can they pile it up a bit further from the intersections? I dunno. –Snowbanks

City crews attacking the banks with blow torches? Develop a snowbank clipper? Supply 10 ft. poles for vaulting in lieu of those little red crossing flags?
It does suck. I have a small white car. It looks like a snow turd.
Yeah it’s pretty dangerous. Extra caution is definitely required, thanks for being a conscientious driver.
Snow crews are out carving back the snowbanks by three or four feet. Can’t do all the streets at once though.
Speed up global warming…
Up periscope!
The crews have been out 24/7 since the storm trying to clear it up.
It’s Canada, it’s called winter. Shit like this happens every year. Crews can’t remove all the snow in one day, or even a week for that matter. And do you really think this a good use of police time?? Following plow trucks around?
time to suck it up, be a grown up and use caution when you are driving.
