@calgarycraig20 Hi Craig, your service request is being reviewed. It appears that your cart was overfilled, but the wrong item was circled on the tag. Our apologies for the confusion.

@KirkLubimov Hi Kirk! When Parks MUST remove trees, it is due to public safety: these appear to be old poplar trees at the end of their lives. We assess each tree (flagged as a concern) for stability/level of internal rot and remove it if it's deemed hazardous to Calgarians.

@naotoyuki They’re designed to prevent overland flooding by keeping water away from houses, garages and businesses to avoid water backups into basements.

Following intense rains, temporary pooling of water is normal around many storm drains. Please see https://t.co/glLzVxa2lm. 2/2

[City of Calgary @cityofcalgary]

@naotoyuki To manage capacity of the stormwater system during heavy storms, many streets in Calgary are designed to have a low point where water is temporarily stored on the street. We also install inlet control devices in storm drains to manage how fast water flows into the pipes. 1/2

@valterweis Good afternoon, sorry for the delay in responding to your concern regarding those loitering at the Stampede Station. This has been forwarded to our Transit Safety and Security team.

@JustJ_32 Carts cannot block streets or alleyways. If they are please report to 311 by calling or filling in this online form: https://t.co/ceVEkMDK7E /2

[City of Calgary @cityofcalgary]

@JustJ_32 Hi J, new build areas often deal with many conflicting activities during the construction and move in phase that may make cart placement and storage issues worse. Carts must be put away by 7 p.m. on your pickup day by pulling back against your fence or onto your property /1

@Jonleescholes Hi Jon, additional follow-up took place this morning to clean up the remaining oil. If there are still concerns, please contact 311 and reference your existing service request number. Thank you.
