View serviceCundles East is a residential area of cul-de-sacs and crescent streets in north Barrie, east of Bayfield Street and divided by Cundles Road East, with mostly single-detached houses among park land and mature trees. Sixty per cent of its homes date from 1961 to 1980 and 16 per cent of dwellings are semi-detached. Short curved driveways off a crescent change how a service vehicle parks and how far a door can swing clear of the apron, and both are worth flagging when a visit is booked.

Cundles East is the north-Barrie area east of Bayfield Street, divided by Cundles Road East with St. Vincent Street as its eastern border, and it is described as a residential area of many cul-de-sacs and crescent streets with mostly single-detached homes among park land and mature trees. Sixty per cent of its houses were built between 1961 and 1980 and a further 20 per cent in the 1980s. Single-detached houses account for 60 per cent of dwellings, semi-detached 16 per cent and duplexes 11 per cent.
The street layout has a direct bearing on garage work. Crescents and cul-de-sacs produce pie-shaped lots, curved driveways and garages set at an angle to the road rather than square to it, which changes both where a service vehicle can stand and how far a door swings clear of the apron. In a snowbelt winter it changes something else too: a cul-de-sac bulb is where the plow leaves its load, and the banks that build up in front of these driveways sit there until a thaw.
Snowbank contact is the seasonal problem on these streets. Packed snow pushed against the outside face of a door loads the bottom sections in a direction they were never designed to take, and a hard bank behind a door that is opening puts a sideways force through the rollers and into the vertical track. The visible result is a dented bottom section, a bent track flange or a roller that has jumped its rail. Doors of 1960s and 1970s vintage also carry single-width openings and lighter track than current product, so a rail that has been knocked once tends to be checked along its full length rather than at the obvious dent.
Plow banks at the head of a cul-de-sac press against door faces and rails, which makes track, roller and section work the recurring winter job on this 1960s and 1970s stock.
