I agree with your observations, and I thin it's Dan who has pointed out many times that it only takes one repeat offender to basically completely stop your path if you're anything but a perfectly able-bodied person from climbing through.
Strangely, CTV Guelph ran a piece the other night... saying that people there HATED that the City was clearing the sidewalks and they wished they had our program!! What a strange world we live in...
Ironically, Mike Boos pointed out that we have about the same amount on sidewalk clearing equipment as Guelph, per total sidewalk KM in the city...meaning, we could probably get Guelph's level of service in KW without an additional spend.
The real story there was that providing bad service will make people angry.
And yeah, it was pretty stark today, I walked up the IHT to Uptown and then back down King, the trail was entirely clear, King was dangerous and blocked at many points.
The only way they think this system works, is able bodied folks who drive everywhere, who walk around their neighbourhood on occasion.
But yeah, it's good to hear they're open on weekends as well....
