That was a year and a half ago. With inflation it could be $28 or $29 now. Still a bargain in my opinion.
Staff *think* it would cover a LOS the same as what the city already provides for the existing city cleared sidewalks. They got to this by extrapolating from their existing clearing program, but they don't have a lot of confidence in how this would work on the whole city.
One of the things this study would have answered is exactly what that looks like in terms of level of service at a larger (and less sporadic) scale, and what the actual cost would be.
Of course, since the very idea of answering those questions has been rejected by council, we won't have any real idea.
