Snow-clearing warnings spur frustration on Edmonton’s Candy Cane Lane
Strangman received a notice from the city Thursday night telling her to clear the sidewalk in front of her house or she would be fined $100 on Monday.
“We keep them clear. We even pay somebody when we’re not here … to clear our sidewalks,” Strangman said. However, because Candy Cane Lane attracts so much traffic and pedestrians, snow and ice are dragged onto the sidewalks and then packed down, Strangman said. It becomes hard-packed and icy, she added, making it cumbersome to chip away.“We get thousands of people, we’ve got tour busses, sleigh rides, all of that coming through here … People pack this down and every day and we come and try to scrape it down. But every night people walk on it and it turns into an iceberg. You do the best you can.
“But at the end of Candy Cane Lane, the city sends us — instead of maybe somebody out here to help us clean up — they send us a warning, saying on Monday they’ll be reviewing and you’ll get a $100 ticket.Strangman said another neighbour called her, upset about the notice. They feel like it’s a slap in the face after all the effort and work that goes into producing Candy Cane Lane.
