Now that we've had our first major snowfall of the season...
I understand that the LRVs are expected to be able to plow the right of way to keep it free of snow. In the hypothetical case that they can't perform this task adequately, who covers the cost of modifications?
For example, beefing up the nose or adding a plow; or in the worst case, acquiring a dedicated plow vehicle. I could see an argument for the cost begin covered by either the Region (since it didn't provide vehicles that can clear the tracks) or by GrandLinq (since they are contracted to provide the LRT service come snow or high water etc).
