Description
the Target Parking lot at 154 Front Street sent in their snow removal truck at 5:22am this morning. i have a picture of them clanging around the lot, backing up with the loud back up beeper and generally waking up the neighborhood. the bylaws state that work can start at 7:00am. they did this another time at 6:00am with no regard for the people in the neighborhood especially those at 159 Frederick st. How can this company be stopped from doing this work at a prohibitive time period and disturbing people.

FYI: in most Canadian cities with significant amounts of snow throughout the winter, the private contractors seem to start much earlier, around 5.00am in the case of Quebec City where I stayed this Christmas. The municipal snow clearing operations there seemed to be 24/7 on major residential and commercial streets, and very efficient, I may add!

While i understand the realities of street cleaning I am afraid i have no sympathy for private companies who disturb residents. I have never seen street cleaning done in downtown Toronto 24/7 but then it isn't Quebec. There are different rules for different cities and different locations in the city.
The difference here is private vs. govt. There is no need to disturb people before 7:00am to make a profit at your company.
