The residential and commercial sidewalks of Toronto and East York will now be cleared of snow on the same general basis as those in Etobicoke, North York and Scarborough. The decision was taken Thursday in a vote of 24 to 1 at City Council. The decision corrects an inequity hangover from amalgamation in 1998. Time-honoured neighbourhoods like Summerhill, Lawrence Park, Leaside Bennington and many others will see this simple municipal service for the first time ever.
Safe and Accessible Sidewalk Snow Clearing Motion Approved! – Thank you to Mayor @JohnTory, Councillor @m_layton, city council and the thousands of Torontonians who advocated for the success of this motion. We’re making progress! https://t.co/KYb9bGhTnI
