We have a a lot of new communities that have rear lanes. they're underway as well. the bit of the challenges that we're, we're probably going to get some more snow tonight. Markham’s operations roads team makes this decision, based on council approved service levels. markham’s winter service levels either meet or in many cases exceed the province of ontario’s legislated service levels for clearing snow from roads and sidewalks. Newer pathways are more likely to have been constructed with suitable aggregate base materials to allow them to be converted to asphalt. older granular pathways which are narrower may require additional base materials which will be subject to condition assessment. Markham’s winter maintenance program exceeds provincially legislated service standards and according to a recent survey by ipsos, our residents agree.
