Downtown ARP map



City street cleaning operations map... oddly enough, the Leg and McKay Avenue are clumped in with rossdale... who's cleaning isnt scheduled until June 3... unacceptable.

'To provide you with a little more clarity of the area called the DTC it does not encompass any of the the Roadways South of 100 Avenue. This is part of the Rossdale neighbourhood which is scheduled for cleaning the week of June the 3rd. As for you additional photos, as I say the roads have been cleaned once and we are performing maintenance sweeping as possible.'

Seems reasonable to me. Lump all the residential areas in together. Legislature primarily gets cleaned by private contractors anyways.

Perhaps, perhaps not. McKay is mixed use and very much downtown as opposed to rossdale.

... apparently not very well.

Well that's even a matter for debate. Rossdale could be considered "downtown" by some, and others will consider it a suburb. Hell, my co-workers say that my house in Parkdale is "downtown" while others here think it's the distant burbs.

I consider our condo to be in the downtown area, but we're very much in a residential neighborhood. Kind-of like Oliver.

And consiering that I probably get the same amount of foot traffic at the Parkdale house as you do in front of your building, I think they should be cleaned on a level playing field.

When McKay is in the downtown plan and downtown community league, i'd hope to god it is included in the downtown cleaning schedule.

Yeah, keep thinking that dude.

LOL.. you don't have a clue what happens outside your 4 square block bubble. You're the last person who should be making judgements like that!

I also live in your area part time... I think I have a pretty good idea what the foot traffic is, given I walk it several times a week.

^ You guys should start a road cleaning rant thread so the rest of us don't have to hear about it, the dirt on the streets has ZERO to do with Edmonton Construction. Thanks in advance
