City clears leaves to avoid ice buildup
The city’s in a race to clear streets of leaves before freezing temperatures and blocked sewers create those icy lakes we all know and love.

It’s somewhat perplexing that the city has an objective of planting hundreds of thousands of new trees when it already does such a poor job dealing with the ones we already have, whether it be picking up dead leaves or pruning dead branches (sometimes fairly large ones). In central neighbourhoods you’re practically guaranteed to see one tree with obviously dead branches looming over the head of pedestrians on each bloc, just waiting for a big enough storm to come crashing down.

Maybe they need to design better sewer grilles?
I reported last year seeing a large branch come down right in front of me, from a big tree in my neighbourhood. Every windstorm brings down a branch or two on my block.
