(North Huron, Ontario) At the 10-10 meeting in Blyth, North Huron Reeve Paul Heffer confessed he has been directing/allowing town staff to egregiously break the law and endanger our community’s children.
The Reeve tried to deflect the first question to no avail, and was pressured into answering whether on not he would continue his illegal activity of blocking off sidewalks by dumping snow directly on them, which endangers all pedestrians.
Recently in Ontario there has been an 82% increase in fatal pedestrian collisions, even one involving an OPP cruiser, showing that even under ideal circumstances and conditions, collisions happen and lives can be lost.
Thankfully your corporation has a by-law to help protect pedestrians on your corporation’s land, by making it illegal for anyone to dump snow on your sidewalks, which then forces pedestrians to walk in traffic during the winter months.
Section 3.18 of your clean yards by-law clearly forbids this activity, yet by-law enforcement is refusing to do their job and ensure your by-laws are enforced on your land, claiming that you are preventing them from enforcing your by-laws on your own property.
Are you going to stop your illegal activity which endangers pedestrians?
