As the city filed it
Over the past twenty months of the pandemic we have seen increased use of our public walkways as residents travel through and enjoy their neighbourhoods safety during the pandemic. Residents have come to find that our public walkways are deteriorating; overgrown with vegetation, and with cracks that present serious safety and accessibility concerns. Included in the attachment are photos of two walkways in my ward with these issues.

Cyclical maintenance of these spaces is lacking, leaving walkways overgrown with vegetation in warmer months, and icy or impassable in winter. As we continue to make use of our outdoor spaces to a greater degree, the walkways that connect our communities must be properly maintained.
