The TTC Board is addressing challenges faced during recent snowstorms, with a focus on heavy snow accumulation around transit stops, delays, and safety concerns for commuters. TTC Chair Jamaal Myers and Coun. Josh Matlow initiated an urgent motion to analyze the response to the storms. Commuters have faced unplowed sidewalks and transportation disruptions, prompting concerns from officials about snow management. TTC CEO Greg Percy mentioned unprecedented snowfall rates and the financial burden of maintaining services amidst ongoing extreme weather challenges. Significant changes in operational strategies may be required after the recent experience with severe winter conditions.
It's time for [the snow] to be gone. I don't believe Torontonians should have to climb a mountain of snow when they are simply trying to get to their TTC stop.
Snow at six centimetres an hour is unheard of in Toronto, for sure, referring to the peak snowfall rates during last Sunday's blizzard.
We have to do something different to deal with problems like drivers repeatedly parking in the path of TTC vehicles.
Our staff have been working hard to keep the system running in the snow, racking up overtime costs in the last 10 days that run in the high hundreds of thousands of dollars.
