Are they coming to do 40 street in Aspenview? I’d love to share the photos I took at 6pm tonight, but photos are not allowed on this page. On a positive note you could have made thousands today if you were ticketing people who shovel onto the roads.

This map makes no sense to me. Our address is 4501-51 Street and our alley was not impassable so I would hope that this is not going to be the norm for our area even though we have back access. JCWetaski

Chloe did yours get missed?

44 ave got missed but Thursday’s are our pick up days.. so we still put our bin in the front?

This has nothing to do with snow removal. What is happening with recycle & garbage pickup. My alley never got picked up yesterday for either.

How about you put up the no parking signs up the day before. There wasn't any signs up yesterday or this morning when I left for work at 6:40am and you almost gave my father-in-law a ticket. Thankfully he noticed the bylaw officer writing a ticket and ran out before he got dinged. Honestly in how many ways can you guys screw up snow removal this year?

I need to thank the hard working crew today….I asked them while in my area to even out our back alley entrance as it would have been like a foot drop off after they cleaned up the street and they had no problem helping us out! Awesome job guys really appreciate all you did!

They put signs up on our street yesterday. Today at 3:50pm the signs were still up on 40 street in Aspenview but at 4:10pm the signs have been removed but the snow has not. I’d like to thank all the neighbours for moving your vehicles.

I attempted to email the town council to see if 40street will be put back on the list to do but my email was undeliverable. So I double checked the email address with the town’s website and tried again, undeliverable again. Guess they don’t want to hear from people like me. So I guess I should rant on Facebook?

But it’s ok for the town to plow the snow from pathways onto the street and create issues

I appreciate that the snow is being cleared but am a bit frustrated that the two times my area has been cleaned, it has been garbage day. I understand it is impossible to please everyone but I have commented this in years past. It is inefficient.

Or plow it on the alleys without trying to remove some of it on the intersections

Unfortunately no one takes those signs seriously because no one has ever gotten towed.

Don’t do what they do, do what they say remember.

at least if it is shoveled to the road it is shoveled, what about all the houses that don't shovel at all??

The town could make a killing if they drove down 48St. Every house along that way shovels their driveway on the road. So hard to get down that road to get the mail.

I’m not sure anyone has ever been fined for shovelling out onto the road. Many houses in my area snowblow or shovel onto the road. My personal peeve is the people who drive on the sidewalk that I shovel faithfully and create tire packed snow that takes me forever to chip off.

how about ticketing those who don't do their walks, some are unreal and you cannot walk on them some people have not done their walks all winter

So the great big hump that you left at my driveway that I’m struggling to get over I’m not allowed to shovel into the street?

There is a lot of residents that don’t clean their sidewalks, so where is the bylaw officer?

When I used to walk my dog early in the mornings, I noticed that there were a lot of elderly, retired women (around FMHS) who were left to do the shovelling of sidewalks and driveways. Their husbands must have passed on or were away at work out of town. I also noticed that a few of our wheelchair community got stuck on residential sidewalks that hadn’t been shovelled all winter; forcing them onto the roads. I wonder if the junior high and high school PE and Work Experience teachers could organize students on “SNOW DAYS”, to go and help shovel for these senior citizens? We have people in our community doing this (Matt Runnells and Ezra Blake), demonstrating selfless act of kindness shovelling driveways and sidewalks for others. We may have some shut ins as well in Drayton who could use some help? Extra credit or a nominal fee could be an incentive for the students? Just trying to find a solution to the problem.🙂

I'd like to see the Town of Drayton Valley clear the road properly in front of Early Childhood Development Centre. Was picking up my daughter and the town will plow the street but not where people park. This creates multiple issues such as the packed snow being so high where you park its as tall as the sidewalk. When this happens and people park up to the snow bank (on top of the sidewalk) we have to walk our daughter on to the street behind parked cars to make it to our vehicle. Also these are young children at this facility so with them walking on icy/snowy surfaces or parents carrying the younger ones its just not safe.

So if the town would have done there job back in December to clear snow this would be a non issue!

Who is responsible for the section of road from Becket Rd to the Range rd 73 ( ring rd) That is becoming very narrow do to the ridges of snow and the lack of snow removal to the actual width of the road. Is it town or Brazeau responsibility?

How many years have we as Albertans lived in winter conditions? I'm coming 80 soon and can remember we've always had snow, sometimes worse than others. Nothing has changed so what's the problem?
