flag A Toronto snowstorm worsened accessibility for disabled residents due to poor snow removal, prompting calls for better enforcement of disability access laws.

flag Advocates claim that blocked sidewalks and insufficient snow removal make it difficult for people with disabilities to travel safely, and a severe snowstorm in Toronto that left over 50 cm of snow has brought attention to persistent accessibility issues. flag David Lepofsky and Rabia Khedr called for the implementation of Ontario's Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act standards, emphasizing that poorly cleared paths and snow piles create hazardous obstacles, particularly for people with mobility or sensory impairments. flag They asked cities to register their addresses, give priority to clearing for residents with disabilities, and provide reasonably priced snow removal services. flag The city promised improvements while acknowledging that cleanup would take days.
