Kitchener to get 'proactive' with sidewalk snow clearing this winter - https://www.kitchenertoday.com/local-new...er-1112661

Not clearing a sidewalk within 24 hours of a snowfall could cost the homeowner around $400 if the city has to step in

This is a little misleading.

The reality is, it isn't 24 hours of a snowfall, it's 24 hours of ANY snowfall.  If it snows for 7 days straight, sidewalks don't need to be cleared.  Further, if you judge based on when bylaw ACTUALLY comes out, they only come out the day after a day without snow, so it's actually 36 hours, and they don't work on weekends, so if it snows on Monday, the clock resets.

Even if 100% of property owners complied with the bylaw, it would still be entirely unacceptable.
