## Resource

Calgary’s pouring in $2.4 million to fix nearly 300 sidewalk ruins caused by tree roots — a safety crisis for kids, seniors, and wheelchair users like Carol who must reroute daily. Targeting high-impact wards, crews will remove problematic trees in June, rebuild sidewalks by August, all funded from reserves — no tax hike. By 2026, they’ll finish tree removals and half the repairs, with full work done by 2027 — and even plant new trees where possible. It’s a smart, practical move to make streets safer for everyone, now and for years to come. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
