Several residents also turned out for last night's meeting to press Council on snow clearing in the "school zone", particularly on Churchill Avenue. Questions were raised about the Municipality's priorities for snow clearing - why certain roads have sidewalks cleared first, with snowbanks removed - with safety concerns emphasized throughout, given the hundreds of students who attend school in the area - particularly as more students are walking, due to changes in busing rules, but also the number travelling to the community centre for various activities. Questions were also raised about the recent traffic study for the area - which is the basis for a proposed "school zone" project planned, if it receives government funding - as the residents questioned why the study did not look more closely at snow clearing, given how much of the school year takes place in winter weather conditions. While Mayor Ron Rody and Infrastructure Services Director Cory Stainthorpe stated there has been increased service to that area, that was questions and dismissed as not meeting the level required. Stainthorpe cautioned Council that there would be a cost to meeting the request, either requiring a shift in priorities or service reduction elsewhere or a higher budget for snow clearing, to cover the increased service. No further decision was made during the meeting.
