Don't give up on the issue entirely because your solution was not chosen. Direct your energy at amendments to the law and better enforcement.
I'm sick and tired of hearing about "the silent majority"...they weren't silent, they successfully lobbied council to see their interests, virtually every time.
The silent ones are those who are trapped in their house all winter.
I don't care whatsoever about people who clear their sidewalks promptly. I am a person who does that. It does not matter one bit, those who don't are the problem, and I've already explained how bylaw has no ability to force them to clear snow promptly. So how will bylaw enforcement help.
I'm not sure who said it because frankly, it was 1:30 in the morning, but every god damn year we go back to Council with this problem and NOBODY LISTENS.
The "not so silent majority" is far more concerned with saving a few bucks than they are about the fundamental right of people to walk out their front door safely, and they get heard every time.
