Yeah, energy usage is important to consider. That's why I think limiting it to only hard-to-plow areas makes sense. It's easy to plow the straight sections, but a lot of snow can build up in say the intersections -- the area with the most conflict points where you want it to be as clear as possible!

I'm excited to see how it works this year, both for heavy snow loads, as well as how it prevents ice formation on the surface.

Always love it when elected officials put their money where their mouth is.

Only by experiencing driving/transit/cycling/walking in Ottawa first hand can we truly start to make it better! 🔥🔥🔥

I’d be fine with either — as long as the people walking and biking stay at grade so as to not have to needlessly climb hills! 😄
