Thanks Forest. In my experience, Operations staff often respond that roads and trails are cleared as per the Trail Maintenance Policy. I wonder if the priorities in the policy could be revisited, given the significant increase in active transportation over the last 5-10 years. Do you think it's worth making that request?

Julie
