Councillors Josh Matlow and Mike Layton proposed a motion to expand the clearing of snow to all sidewalks in Toronto, park trails, and cycle paths at the Nov. 5, 2020 meeting of the Infrastructure and Environment Committee.
Walk Toronto’s Michael Black sent a communication from Walk Toronto to the committee in support of this motion. Black pointed out that the proposed measures “have the potential to play a substantial role in improving the physical and psychological health and safety of Toronto’s residents, at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic is entering a stressful winter period.”
