Wind-row plowing is coming back
For years, Brampton residents have watched their sidewalks fill with snow that nobody clears — and the culprits are our own city plows. Every winter, residential streets get pushed into giant windrows of packed ice across driveways and sidewalks. The result: seniors who can't leave their homes, kids who can't walk to school, and families shoveling for hours after every storm.
Paul Tarriwal's commitment: we will bring back dedicated wind-row plowing crews across every Brampton ward, starting in the first winter of his term.
What this means
- Dedicated crews focused on clearing driveways and sidewalk ramps — not just main roads
- A real-time tracking page so residents know when their street will be cleared
- Priority clearing for streets with seniors, people with disabilities, and schools
- Clear budget line: no more pretending snow removal is free when we all pay for it in damaged driveways and lost mobility
Why it matters
Brampton's winter maintenance budget has been cut every year for the past decade. The result is visible: sidewalks that stay impassable for weeks, seniors who can't get to appointments, and small businesses that lose foot traffic every time it snows.
This isn't about luxury — it's about a city that works the way people need it to work.
