Winter Walking and Cycling

[Bob_McBob]

I'm still not really sure where the "bare pavement" and "any snow resets the clock" standards came from. The bylaw simply says snow and ice must be removed within 24 hours after a snowfall ends. It also specifically says a 24 hour warning will only be issued for the first violation of the season, so chronic violators should be receiving fines after their one and only warning.

687.1.2 Sidewalk - removal of snow - within 24 hours
Every owner or occupant of a building on premises adjoining a highway in the City shall clear away and remove the snow and ice from the sidewalks on such highway in front of, alongside or at the rear of such building within twenty-four hours after the cessation of a snowfall. By-law 87-171, 17 August, 1987.
