Winter Walking and Cycling

[danbrotherston]

GRT stop clearing is a whole other issue... I complained to the region recently because the bus stop near my house (which services a hospital) hasn't been cleared all winter even a week after major snowfalls, and GRT Twitter has been ignoring snow complaints. The contact from the region told me they've been having issues with their Kitchener contractor this winter and are working on better solutions.

They did say that in the meetings today.

Sadly this is a perennial issue, and it has to do with the fact that, aside from building road capacity, the region refuses to purchase for peak times, not for snow clearing, grass cutting, or even ambulances.  But hey, we "save money" in the end...
