Robinson made the comment at a city-run salt yard on Eastern Avenue, where she unveiled the steps that the city is taking to ensure that it is ready to respond to snow storms and sub-zero conditions this winter.
The city’s winter operation plan will include a fleet of 600 snowplows, 300 sidewalk plows and 200 salt trucks that will be kept at facilities across Toronto as well as about 1,500 personnel that will be on 24/7 standby.
