Six Years After The Consultation

“Sidewalks are a fundamental element of the urban transportation infrastructure. It is bizarre that any city would fail to provide the same level of service for sidewalks that it does for roads. This makes its pedestrians second-class citizens.” (Barry Wellar, urban geographer and professor emeritus, University of Ottawa)

That really says it all. We are second class citizens. Worse than second class citizens. Our lives and our children’s lives are in danger. Just watch this video and read this description of peoples’ everyday commutes in St. John’s. We are working on a couple of protests and a citizen science update to the 2014 consultation and report on snow clearing in the city. But we already know how bad it is. We need to act.
