Hey Keenan,
Good column about snow removal or lack thereof in the City of Toronto. You cover the history of our snow situations very well and it is a column that implies a fair criticism of the City of Toronto’s poor snow removal operations.
As a columnist, you would not be doing justice to the the profession if you precised the lamentation into just 2 or 3 paragraphs. Your bottom line is spot on. Toronto could do a much better job at snow removal but it comes at a price. Leave it at that Ed. Mayor Chow is aware of your conclusion. Everyone everywhere is. However, there is only so much money in the kitty and these winter blasts not only test our budgets but they test our patience. It’s very valid to lament about the difficulties snow storms remnents cause for seniors, disabled, child carriage operators. Sad, agreed. However, asking for increased expenditures to cope with the snow problem may be unrealistic. Can’t you hear the woeful cries of the populace when we have a diminished snowfall winter.
In short, good to hear your reminder to the City to get shovelling and work harder to remove the snow…but it is what it is. Afterall, we live in Canada, eh !
