Your mention of elderly person and other mentions of people with mobility issues makes me wonder what happens if this goes to the human rights tribunal. Are we really even allowed to run the city in a way that results in unreasonable mobility barriers for a significant portion of the population?
Heh, I've also wondered about the human rights tribunal. I doubt the courts are quite there, but frankly, it should be, to me it just seems obvious, the right to walk somewhere (safely) shouldn't be up for debate.
For the record, my walk home tonight, quite bad, I reported at least 50 uncleared sidewalks. Weber St. in Waterloo was just egregious, duplexes for rent. Probably between 1 in 5 and 1 in 10 uncleared. I was pretty frustrated my last call to the bylaw message machine.
