We speak with Mark Beare and Val Dacyk from the City of Edmonton about service standards for clearing roadways and active pathways, how much people love the snow plow map, how big the snow clearing operation is, what it would take to clear sidewalks, where your tax dollars go, and much more.Here are the relevant links for this episode:GuestsMark Beare on LinkedInValerie Dacyk on LinkedInSnow and ice controlNews Release: City launches updated Snow and Ice Control ProgramRoadways Snow Clearing MapActive Pathways Snow Clearing MapCommunity SandboxesWinter Travel2022: Apparent jump in snow-clearing kilometres not all that it seems2023: City seeks input on sandbox program for ice controlFrom the Taproot newsroomHousing ComplexIntroducing Housing Complex, a special project from Taproot EdmontonHome truths: In Edmonton's housing system, some win, some lose, and many feel conflictedRapid fireEdmonton won't add optional criminal record checks for council candidatesEdmonton boo-levard becomes Candy Corn Lane for HalloweenSpeaking Municipally is produced by Taproot Edmonton, a source of curiosity-driven original stories, curated newsletters on various topics, and locally focused podcasts, all in the service of informing Edmontonians about what is going on in their community.
