Just to put this issue of the park's winter maintenance to bed, I did receive a follow-up from city that stated the following:
"We fully agree with your assessment. The current condition of the walkways, specifically the windrows blocking entrances and the ice buildup, is not acceptable.
While the contractor previously reported to us that maintenance was complete, our inspection confirms that the quality of work does not meet the City’s standards or the requirements of their contract.
We are taking the following steps immediately:
Contractor Accountability: We have contacted the contractor to address the discrepancy between their reporting and site conditions. We have directed them to rectify the windrows and address the icy sections to bring the park up to the standard required for safe mobility. We have completed an inspection of the site, and the Project Team will continue to inspect to ensure compliance.
Please continue to use 311 as the primary avenue for reporting concerns.
We are committed to ensuring the contractor fulfills their warranty obligations so that the park and its walkways remain safe and accessible for all."
