In Kitchener and Waterloo, sidewalks must be cleared by property owners no more than 24 hours after a snowfall ends. In Cambridge, the municipality is responsible for sidewalks that meet a number of different criteria.
If you find a sidewalk has not been cleared for more than 24 hours, in Kitchener you can call 519-741-2345 and, in Waterloo, e-mail snowandice@waterloo.ca
This policy is so utterly pathetic. Snow began on Saturday, and given the forecast, I don't have to clear my sidewalks till Thursday morning. I'll mark my calendar.
In other news, municipal clearing is up and running, the sidewalk plow drove all the way down my street today, to clear 10 meters of sidewalk at the end of it which the city owns, just to drive back up the street. People complain about waste, *not* clearing all the sidewalks is wasteful.
