新闻这样说:
房主和业主要负责清理门前的人行道、车道、停车位、台阶、坡道上的冰雪,并且必须在降雪12小时内清理完毕
我们请的那个铲雪的人说是雪停了以后 12 小时,不是降雪 12 小时。明天从上午要下到周一的凌晨,肯定超 12 小时了,他会在周一早上来铲,是不是太晚?
还有这个人总不铲人行道,说那是市政府负责的,可是市政府也从来不铲这一段,总是搞到最后没人铲。
市政府的网站是这样的英文:
Where sidewalk plowing is not available, home owners and property owners are responsible for clearing ice and snow from nearby/adjacent sidewalks, driveways, parking spaces, steps, ramps and landings within 12 hours of snowfall to provide safe access for people and vehicles (see
Property Standards Bylaw
).
Clearing the ice and snow from the sidewalk in front of your home or business helps keep neighbours and communities safer for everyone when it snows.
Please contact 311 to report a property owner who did not clear their sidewalk.
Fines for not clearing sidewalks
The fine for not clearing snow from private property is $455 plus a $115 surcharge, total of $570.
The fine for not clearing snow from public property is $100 plus $25 surcharge, total of $125, as per the City’s
Snow and Ice Clearing Bylaw.
When the City is not able to clear public sidewalks within 12 hours of snowfall, property owners are responsible to clear public sidewalks adjacent to their property within 12 hours of snowfall.
