Winter Walking and Cycling

An update on the sidewalk outside the train station:

   

While the weather has improved the sidewalk, it is still impassable.  However, I spoke with bylaw today and it has been sent to a contractor for clearing, which means it might actually get cleared before the end of winter.

I also spoke with the manager at bylaw and asked them about the report that is going to council, and suggested that one of the metrics they include is the amount of time between a complaint and actual clearing (in this case several months), and suggested that this particular performance metric was important, I didn't go so far as to say it was important because it demonstrated that your entire department is pointless, but I hope council will get that message.
