Winter Sidewalk Maintenance Review Update
Subject:
Overview
Recognizing the importance of providing year-round safe, accessible, sidewalk conditions to support
active transportation and environmental objectives, Council requested that staff provide a report
outlining alternative winter sidewalk maintenance options. In early 2018 staff initiated the Winter
Sidewalk Maintenance Review project. The objective of this review is to identify preferred alternatives
to form a recommend winter sidewalk maintenance program, to be implemented in the winter of
2018/2019. The results of this program will provide quantitative and qualitative data, which will help
inform recommendations to Council on implementing sidewalk maintenance practices for the
2019/2020 winter season, and beyond.
Expectations of Committee
On June 21 staff will provide an update to the Environmental Committee on the Winter Sidewalk
Maintenance Review project, including a summary of the program being considered for the winter of
2018/2019. Staff is seeking feedback from the Committee on the development of this program as staff
prepare for implementation, notably around salt management and collecting data on salt use.
