Whereas the former Village of Blyth had a snow removal policy of ensuring full access to downtown places of business for every business day; and
Whereas this policy was maintained for the Blyth Ward for several years after amalgamation of North Huron; and
Whereas the present snow removal policy of scheduled snow removal results in as many as three days a week in which passengers, people with mobility issues, and others are unable to gain reasonable access to the stores and offices which they need to visit.
Now therefore be it resolved that staff are requested to prepare a report regarding the Blyth Ward snow removal policy, addressing access to stores and offices for all business days, by eliminating the snow banks along the curbs and sidewalks, and at the intersections prior to the beginning of each business day.
