It's difficult to get the sense of scale from video but watch this

I would have to surmise that you haven't been around Calgary much either where there are streets that are shut down in the winter and multiple streets that become pretty much impossible to go up or down on when we get enough snow.
I don't doubt that White Rock has steep roads but one shouldn't dismiss Calgary as some flat prairie city - the steepest paved alley sits at 31.5 degrees inclination and the steepest street is at about 22. There is a street much steeper, probably closer to 30 but the city baricaded many years ago because there was just too many problems with having it open.
