They managed to deliver most of their contract for several years, but clearly weren’t ready for this. Council was put in an impossible position - vote for a bad contract or a threat we wouldn’t have ANY snow clearing. Either path is a mistake.

here was one of the many motions that lead to universal sidewalk clearing. It took 4-5 years to get it done, we I fought, with others, for it www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis...

I don’t think I was on council when it was privatized, but the current contract was recommended by city staff & when we questioned it the staff report said if we didn’t award it we would be ready to remove snow in the winter. We got put in a terrible position as the contract was not without problems

i didn’t. Or I don’t think I did. i’m not sure what vote you’re referring to. the most recent contract wasn’t privatizing snow removal - it had previously been privatized if I recall correctly. I fought tirelessly for universal sidewalk clearly - and we won.

Net-zero coupled with "Passive nature-based climate removal".

thanks for the add. Great list!

We spent decades building support for those few main street bike lanes and convinced conservative mayors to build them. Now the premier in a matter of months Premier could rip them out.
