Winter Walking and Cycling

[tomh009]

Well ... it's not a council decision yet, only a staff recommendation. There is time to lobby the councilors and/or present to the council at the meetin

Though not my ideal, I do wonder if the best way forward right now is to encourage council to consider a slow build out of the program, starting in the (more dense and overall walkable) core/central neighbourhoods and expand that out slowly over the next several years. Still thinking on this of course, but it's just one idea I had to try to find a way to move forward.

That could be good value indeed. But the funding would likely have to come out of general revenues, which means that it would be shared by all property owners in the city. Or is there a way to have only the downtown wards' property owners pay for this? Or would this be small enough that it would be acceptable to distribute across all properties?
