This isn't the conclusion I would have liked, but to be fair to staff, they have studied the issue, and their conclusion is that their changes had a positive impact last winter. I find the complaint numbers interesting.
Anecdotally, I do think that bylaw was better at responding to unsafe sidewalks last winter than in previous years. I say this as someone who occasionally complains about sidewalks which have not been cleared.
But, as the report notes, last winter was also very mild. If we get another harsh winter, who knows what the results will be.
