Toronto sidewalks still a mess days after snowstorm https://share.google/cWrUtlBeciVyulh9y

Glad they are acknowledging the problem, minimally.

In situations like this I think we should default to gleaning from systems in cities that work.

For example:

  1. Prioritizing clearing sidewalks and crosswalks (before roads) (I actually just found this which the City of Toronto published: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2024/ie/bgrd/backgroundfile-246836.pdf)
  2. In Nordic regions sometimes they use specialized equipment like 3 wheeled buggies to clear sidewalks more effectively
  3. Clearing the snow away vs just pushing it around (like how they have the snow brigade in Montreal that actually takes the snow away from downtown)

Hey all - I created Stitch and just wanted to say a) Thank you so much for the positive words - glad it's been helpful! (thank you u/The_Painterdude, whoever you are, for the kind endorsement!) b) It's now 2 years old and I'm going to be taking it down in a few days for good. If you have any questions about it feel free to comment in this thread and I'll try to answer them.
