TORONTO, Ont. – A debate over snow removal is expected to take place at city hall next week, in the aftermath of the massive February 8 snowstorm that brought many roads to a halt.
The Toronto Sun is reporting that Coun. Anthony Perruzza will ask his colleagues to order a review of the city’s current snow removal contracts.
The councillor for the York-West district says the cleanup in his ward was ‘shoddy’.
Public-works chairman Coun. Denzil Minnan-Wong meanwhile said there is already a review of the response to the storm underway.
Putting things in perspective, Minnan-Wong added that the city has to maintain several hundred kilometres of roads, not an easy task.

Yes absolutely shoddy snow removal. Don’t those snow plow operators know that we expect them to be out there catching all those snow flakes before they hit the ground!
Glad they are reviewing it. I was going to start sending letters this week. Weston road hadn’t been salted yet, two hours after the snow finished falling. Very dangerous. It’s almost like these right wing idiots looked at a two year trend instead of a 30 year trend and cut the snow removal budget – since last year and the year before we had a surplus. Complete short sited idiocy and negligent behaviour.
