Even very close to downtown, there are plenty of property owners who are not clearing their sidewalks as required...
Tell it to the mayors. They're the ones who are equivocating, posturing, delaying and using every other tactic in the politician's handbook to evade this issue. I've lobbied DaveJ. That was a total waste of time. And BarryV, based on what he's told the media, is no better. But hey, they're all in favour of more people using public transit, especially the LRT, in the winter.
One example: There's a property at William and Allen on the southwest corner. I can't tell if it's abandoned or not but it's certainly not been maintained. Its sidewalks have never been cleared during any of the past many winters. What's with that? Do I have to Pingstreet it on a daily basis?
