Just on the way to the office took a couple of pictures ...

I did not try to choose anything specially. Just on the way to the office took a couple of pictures. Please note where the car is visible - a parking pocket on Tulskaya St.. That is, it should be cleaned in the same way as the roadway. Today only the SUV was able to call here. In the second picture - residential passage. Near the former d/k "Youth". Also the competence of the mountains. You can still drive along it, but snow is already scraping along the bottom. So far, snow. Tomorrow will be ice.

Now thoughts. Once in the 90s, the problem with winter cleaning was available to specialized cleaning equipment. Kaluga’s special vehicle was forced to build its own workshop on the manufacture of attachments (brushes, scrapers, etc.), since the industry did not do what was needed or it cost it very expensive. It was almost impossible to buy equipment abroad for financial reasons and for existing restrictions. But even taking into account these circumstances, the closure of the carriageway in the winter in the winter was more than one meter by the basis for applying penalties to the contractor from the city.

Today there are no problems with technology. You can buy everything that the soul wishes. The same with reagents. The finances for cleaning in the 15th year were allocated - almost a billion for three years. Now the new 730 million is ready for auction. However, the streets are overgrown with snow. The number of accidents is running out of this. Traffic jams are increasing.

Why? Suppose - a bad contractor or contractors. Why don't the city authorities force them to work as it is written in the contract? In any case, we do not see this.

The second assumption is a low qualification of city officials. They simply do not know how to organize the process so that it gives the necessary result. Then another question - why do these people still work in the council?

And the third option - the city chiefs do not have the question of cleaning as such. The task is to drink budget money. Therefore, the contractors are not fined, since they are the necessary element of the cutting circuit.

In any case, not one of the three options gives us, the inhabitants of the city, to feel like citizens of the world power living in the third millennium. In the best case, the Burkin Faso option begs if snow fell there in winter.

What to do? After all, no prerequisites for the fact that Gorobtsov and the company will become better not to work. And it is not expected. So far, the desire of the deputies of the City Duma is not yet visible at least to raise the question of the quality of the management of urban economy. On the contrary, the Duma together from year to year approves the reports of the heads of administrations, no matter what blizzard they carry in them.

And so I want to live a normal comfortable life. What live the inhabitants of dozens of not very great powers.

Yes, in the last picture, the Orthodox Church in the Finnish city of Kuopio. 111 thousand inhabitants, for a minute. There is no less snow, if not more. But pay attention to how the roads and sidewalks are cleared. Moreover, they do not clean the asphalt and do not use reagents - they protect both asphalt and tires with soles. But everything is thoroughly rolled and cleaned to the curbs. Russian province for almost a hundred years.
