The city tried calcium chloride a decade ago and it didn't work. Why start again!!??

Road safety is paramount in the winter and getting rid of sand would be great as it damages windshields and bodywork. But please use a
non corrosive material on the roads. Airports have been using non corrosive products for decades, because corrosion on aircraft is very expensive to fix and causes the aircraft to be unserviceable for some time. I believe the airport products are Urea based and leftovers from Cheese production.

We already have enough rust. I just spent 2000$ to fix my car paint, please don't make it worse. Make winter tires mandatory.

Do your jobs and stop trying to find methods that are cheaper for you but push the consequences on the tax payers.

Please do not do this, it is not needed and we don't want our vehicles to rust away.

Winter tires should be mandatory, then brine treatment would be un-necessary.

It's a waste of money and wrecks out vehicles unless you are going to repair and or replace them

This will ultimately hurt the environment not only commericial and personal vehicles. If the City of Edmonton wants to see long term growth and not steer the citizens away from Edmonton, then listen to the citizens.

Keep the salt away from our roads! It's hard enough to prevent rust on vehicles, don't make it any worse for us drivers!

As an automotive service technician and seeing the differences in cars from out east versus cars out here, it's incredible how fast how much and how damaging it is to use calcium chloride. Cars a year old look worse than most Albertan cars ten years old! Nobody asked for this and nobody wants this!

Salt brine is going to destroy our storm water systems and north Saskatchewan River. Also all those neighbourhood storm ponds where the kids play hockey are going to never freeze up and be a real mess. They will become the Dead Sea.
