I don't think the City of Kitchener's proactive enforcement is working too well.
Saturday was the region's "first winter storm" as labelled by the City of Kitchener and others. The snow stopped late Saturday, which means that sidewalks ought to have been cleared late Sunday.
Presuming Kitchener's Proactive Enforcers work normal business hours, they would have issued a few notices at least by noon Monday, supposedly giving scofflaws a further 24 hours to get those sidewalks cleared by some time today.
Obviously they're not able to do the whole city on Monday, and not everyone who receives said notices would obey on Tuesday, but it seemed to me that, if a sidewalk wasn't cleared yesterday morning, it still wasn't cleared this evening. And I'm not talking about residential back streets, but rather busy roads like Weber and Victoria.
I don't think their new system is working.
