Calgarians are expressing concerns over an increasing number of potholes showing up on city streets during their daily commutes due to warmer temperatures.

As the snow melts and thick ice begins to thaw, several stretches of Calgary roads are getting a lot bumpier as asphalt expands from freeze-thaw cycles and caves in.

“More minor damages include a tire bulge, a bent rim or something like that, but we see it get severe as bent steering or suspension components or loose components that become disconnected.” “Potholes can develop along streets due to moisture getting through the asphalt surface followed by repeat freeze/thaw cycles and vehicle traffic. The City of Calgary prioritizes pothole repairs based on several factors including safety impacts, severity and location.”

“I would encourage citizens to use the 311 app, because not only can you identify a pothole, you can geotag it so the city knows exactly where it is,” Chabot said. Since reporting on old fines tanking the credit scores of thousands of Ottawans and former residents, CTV News has received a flood of similar accounts from people claiming the city and its contracted collection agencies did not do enough to contact them before their credit score was slashed.

As the contract stalemate between the province and the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation continues, a Saskatoon labour lawyer says some creative thinking is required to get both sides back to the negotiating table.A pre-schooler from Warman got some unlikely support as he battles a rare kidney disease, and the help started with a small idea in his community and spread all the way down to Regina.
