That is truly atrocious reporting:
"The city did try to see what taking on the responsibility of clearing all sidewalks would look like. Through a pilot project from 2019 to 2020, city staff determined it was not ready for that task because there is a finite number of stuff, and a limited amount of equipment."
That's not even remotely what the report said, it stated the exact dollar figure that would be required TO do it, yeah, they can't just start doing it with existing resources.
"The city determined a community approach, where everyone is responsible, would get the ice cleared quicker."
The report in fact found the exact opposite of that, that sidewalks were cleared better when the city did it.
Who the fuck writes this garbage?
Honestly, I submitted it as an "error" not that they care, or even if they did and they retracted it, would actually get noticed.
Like, this is infuriating...after all the work we (I) fucking did pushing for this report, for it to get misrepresented like this. FFS!
