特别是几个地方（红字部分）：The snow banks are so high, you wouldn't be surprised to see the late Sir Edmund Hillary trying to climb one of them and plant a flag. Many are well over 6 feet or more and if you live on a side street - plowed or not - they represent a huge hazard for drivers and pedestrians alike.Motorists who can't see around them are forced to sneak and peek, edging their cars out into the road ever so slightly and hoping they can make their turns onto a main street while not really being sure what's coming.Many pedestrians have abandoned the snow-covered sidewalks which are impassable in some spots, walking on roads that have been squeezed by the endless flakes. And that's putting them in danger, too, as drivers try to navigate the narrows.Children, who are off on March Break, can also run out unexpectedly leaving motorists hoping they can slam on the brakes on the still icy surfaces in time."This time of year, particularly during spring break, the number of pedestrians on our roadways increases exponentially," warns Sgt. Steve Reynolds. "Drivers need to be extra cautious."But those behind the wheel are now being urged to be careful about something else - the TTC. Red Rocket personnel are angry that streetcars are being delayed or even stopped by drivers parking on their routes.The extra snow is forcing people to park closer to the middle of the road, sometimes unknowingly impeding the progress of the electric trolleys, which are tethered to wires overhead and can't swerve around them. And now they're getting tough on anyone who gets in their way, promising to tow you if you don't keep the route clear. The TTC admits there has to be a better way for the Better Way, but they haven't found one."So far on McCaul alone, we had about 13 vehicles in a matter of an hour and a half," complains TTC spokesman Mario Jurinic. They're asking you to park at least a foot and a half away from the rail or be on the hook for a tow and a ticket.And it's not just the TTC that's dealing with the tight squeeze. A driver named Dave found himself boxed in by a stuck streetcar, leaving him no way to get his parked car out of the space he'd found. "I just simply came here to park, and I guess because there's so much snow on this side here, I can't get right over," he moans. He's been there for more than half an hour and doesn't know how he'll escape.Still, he remains resolute, preferring to take a positive view of his predicament. After all, we are talking about finding one of those rare parking spaces downtown. "I got this spot," he declares boldly, "and I'm keeping it."The city intends to get to some of those high hills as soon as they can and they're hoping this week's coming warm-up will help them deflate the heights. For now, though, they're still trying to play catch-up as the clean-up from this latest blast of winter continues.
