OPTIONS FOR SNOW REMOVAL FROM PRIORITY PEDESTRIAN CORRIDORS — REFERRAL RESPONSE

City-provided sidewalk snow clearing as an additional level of service would present concerns since it would provide direct benefit to only those property owners fronting the identified sidewalks and not others. This could create an equity issue and result in a cascading effect of service level expectations. The majority of the identified sidewalk locations are fronted by businesses which are responsible for snow removal independent of the City. Given the infrequent nature and typical sho1i duration of these events, coupled with the additional cost and present sidewalk clearing requirements under Bylaw 5870, staff do not recommend expanding service to include snow removal from sidewalks adjacent to high use pedestrian sidewalks fronting residents and businesses. Staff are however considering recommending possible amendments to the Traffic Bylaw to further clarify the responsibilities of adjacent business and residents when it comes to clearing sidewalks.
