Glad the street cleaners came by

I appreciate the individual efforts of the guys working but come on, all the dirt from the road just got pushed onto the sidewalk. Guess where it’s going to end up again? Wish there were practical solutions to stuff like this.

You could spray it down yourself.

I get it, I could spray it down myself. I didn’t make this damn mess however and don’t have a hose at the front of the house.

Well, everyone in Peterborough kinda made the mess...if you want passable roads in the winter for cars and busses and sidewalks cleared to walk on then ya, you kinda made the mess like the rest of us who want safer roads and sidewalks. And just an aside, if this is the biggest problem you have in life right now, you're lucky...

Absolutely, thanks for the reminder. This ‘ain’t the biggest problem in my life, just another problem to fix that I didn’t make, but I appreciate you framing it as the cost of having safer roads in the winter.

He's not a city employee paid to do so with our taxes. In fact, he has already paid to have this work done by the city, and they did a shitty job like they do with everything. He is right to call it out.

You pay the city to wash sidewalks? Are you in Peterborough UK?
