Winter Walking and Cycling

Based on my experience, I absolutely believe this - but can you share a source?

I remember a Record article which identified two properties- the one being the Electrohome building on Shanley, and the other somewhere in the west end- but I couldn't quickly find it. If that rings a bell to anyone else, I would be obliged.

This article about the Electrohome building makes a reference to that, saying that "It's one of only two properties that bylaw enforcement officials consider a chronic offender for consistently failing to mow grass or shovel sidewalks." I consider more than two properties on my block to be chronic offenders in terms of sidewalk clearing.

Yeah, I remember that as well.  Ironic given that there are a dozen or so chronic offenders on my walk to work alone.  

That being said their definition of "chronic offender" is probably "the never ever not even once, clear the walk" as opposed to "it usually takes them more than 24 hours, but they'll sometimes occasionally, way too late, clear the walk.

Remember, in addition to being essentially unenforced the bylaw is also entirely inadequate.  You can abide by the bylaw with very very little work.
