The City of Calgary is getting swamped with 311 calls from residents who are frustrated by flooding streets and enormous ice ruts from frozen stormwater drains. She said she was told the flooding wasn't a high priority, because the residential street is not a high-traffic area. Chelsea Chester said she wasn't able to move her car for a week, due to the flooding on her front street. "We haven't quite hit the record for number of calls yet, but we're getting close I think," Colbran said. He said calls to 311 go through a triage system, where they are ranked in terms of priority.
