General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

That is an interesting proposal...pro-active sidewalk enforcement drives around in plows, and plows any uncleared sidewalk immediately and bills the owner, summary offense, no grace period....while I prefer city clearing, that policy might actually have some effect.

I just had an even better idea. Don’t use plows; use snowblowers, and put all the snow on the driveway of the offending property. No different for vacant properties, but you could probably skip the whole billing/collection/enforcement bit for occupied ones. This is what parenting manuals call “natural consequences”.
