@RonRon_Mexicon@NikoMarkov Really? Here's my thinking: A) didn't want to break the line under strain, B) lots of weight on the car, but it's evenly distributed, C) car not needed immediately but worried for more damage, D) can't see how bad it is, and ICBC said don't move it. Do I risk my insurance claim?
24 hours and the tree branch that fell on my car and a utility wire is still stuck on top while the City and utility companies discuss who is responsible #vancouver#bc#BCStorm#WestEnd
@NikoMarkov I was advised not to do that because the comms line had a lot of weight on it, and more movement would have torn it. Did you know that Telus does aerial installs of fibre? In hindsight, breaking the line would have made them come faster
@spencer_ko@CityofVancouver@bchydro@Shawhelp If my property manager hadn't come through, I definitely would have started sawing through the night to at least get my car out ๐ช. Especially with the "if there's service we don't really care" attitude, screw the wires
@DJ_Vagab0nd Funny thing is that this tree shows up on the city tree map where they've mapped out all the trees they are responsible for. Most ppl I called including ICBC said that very large trees are supposed to be the city's responsibility, so definitely some confusion here
@JEEPBEEPBOOM ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ branch had quite a bit of weight in the Telus line. With how long it took for ppl to come look at it and say "nah", I was getting ready to do just that. Thankfully my property manager came through
This thread isn't a "woe is me" but a cautionary tale. With all the old trees in #Vancouver, and increased issues due to climate change, surely there must be a better way to do the work, so that we can react faster to these situations. Just saying #BCStorm
