I sincerely hope I'm wrong (about achievable service levels) but the data should flush this out. Though occasionally terse, I did appreciate the discussion here... see you again in a year!
Since you saw fit to ask myself, and almost every other delegate whether we would respect the results of a statistically significant survey residents' opinions in another municipality which does clear sidewalks. Now that the pilot is approved, maybe I can ask you a question here:
Would you respect the results of an objective evaluation of the clarity of sidewalks under city clearing policy vs. bylaw (pro-active or not) enforced property owner clearing. I.e., we already know that bylaw finds 20% of properties uncleared, but we have no actual measured data for city cleared sidewalks. I do hope the pilot will gather this data. So what percentage of sidewalks would need to be clear under city clearing for you to support it, or would that data not be convincing?
