Signs and floating pool toys caused quite the stir near a massive puddle that accumulated in Marda Loop this month.
The problem area — near 35 Ave. and 20 St. S.W. — stretched along the road and completely submerged a sidewalk. A frozen, clogged drain likely caused it.
Similar winter thaw is a common problem in Calgary, but many in the neighbourhood say they reached a breaking point with the mess this year."She was on her back and had to crawl out of the water and then make it home in freezing cold," Jamie Ruff told CTV News. "It's disgusting."Ruff made signs reading "No ferry today," and "Marda Lake: cross at your own risk," to put up nearby.
Neither answered multiple requests for comment, but the puddle was drained around 3:30 p.m. Saturday."I might even make these an official sign," he said. "I could get a bathing suit next year and we can have a polar bear dip."
