Tired of slipping on winter sidewalks? Make your voice heard!

It's tough to raise this during a heatwave, but the city of Hamilton has an online survey about winter maintenance of sidewalks. It closes on September 11, 2020.

We know how important it is to support people getting places on foot, and we see how the city leaves it up to individual property owners to clear snow from sidewalks. It doesn't work. 

Telltale signs are images like seniors walking on the road because sidewalks are icy or snow-covered. 

We don't know how many people can't leave their homes because of the sidewalk conditions. 

We do know that the city ploughs sidewalks in front of schools, parks etc, but then they lift the plough to go to the next area. It's piecemeal and not dependable for people trying to get places. 

Here's where you can help!

DEADLINE for the City Survey is September 11, 2020. 



Thanks for taking action with us!
