Frankly, I'm not that excited about it.
After a second read through, I now see two problems.
First, as I said, there doesn't seem to be any prioritization of snow clearing on major routes vs. side streets.
Second, and this is surprising, all of these seem to be seeking to achieve the LOS guaranteed by the existing bylaw, which is, to put it honestly, trash.
Am I reading this wrong?
I believe that you are correct on both counts. Re the first, however, the lack of prioritization seems logical (from a bureaucratic point of view) if the idea is to eventually implement 100% coverage - they need to gather data on all types/locations of sidewalks to provide a basis for full implementation.
My concern, identified by the City, is the increase in salt usage that will result from this.
