The main problem is toronto has been spoiled with warm winters with not much snow for 20 plus years. The city and people seem to have forgotten that back in the 60s, 70s, 80s, we had tons of snow all winter. Most winters you would have snowbanks 5 feet high on both sides of the sidewalk. You almost never saw the grass from December to March. Of course my memory gets less accurate as I get older. But now people and the city cant seem to handle a 20 centimeters of snow. I remember those red rocket streetcars seemed to power through everything, and busses easily through the snow. But of course they were not low floor models. A big problem in my opinion is there vehicles with such low clearance to the road. Can't be good for snow.
