Does the contract cover the Kingsway sidewalk in front of my Renfrew-Collingwood property?

Yes. Public-sidewalk clearing under Vancouver Street & Traffic Bylaw 2849 is part of every base scope. Kingsway commercial frontages are the highest bylaw-exposure blocks in the neighbourhood, so we treat them as part of the property clearing perimeter.

What's the response time near Joyce-Collingwood SkyTrain station?

Sites within 200 metres of Joyce-Collingwood or 29th Avenue stations are dispatched on our earliest wave — typically within 60 minutes of the written trigger. Foot-traffic density at those stations makes them the highest slip-claim frequency zone in the neighbourhood.

Will you keep the laneway clear for garbage day?

Yes, where the laneway is on the property's clearing perimeter. Blocking a lane on collection day is one of the fastest ways to lose a property manager's trust, so lane access is treated as part of the site scope.

Do I need to worry about Bylaw 2849 with a seasonal contract in place?

No. Sidewalk clearing to the 10:00 a.m. bylaw window is contractually guaranteed. If we miss it, that's our exposure, not yours. That transfer of exposure is one of the core reasons a seasonal contract exists in the first place.

What de-icer do you use on East Van pedestrian surfaces?

Pet-safe magnesium chloride or calcium magnesium acetate as default on all pedestrian surfaces. Rock salt only on non-pedestrian surfaces at the client's specific request. Product and rate are logged per visit.

Do refreeze events count as separate service calls?

No. Salt-only dispatches on refreeze events are included in the seasonal price — not billed as extras. Refreeze is where most East Vancouver slip claims come from, so treating those dispatches as add-ons is exactly the wrong incentive.

When should our Renfrew-Collingwood council or landlord sign?

Before September 30. Regional capacity fills through October, and early signing pins pre-inflation pricing for the coming winter.
