Minimum Maintenance Standards
In May, the OGRA Board of Directors requested that the Association call for intervenor status and asked that a letter be sent to every Ontario municipality requesting a 10¢ per-capita contribution to cover legal expenses.
Over the last few weeks, numerous Municipalities have come forward and contributed to The MMS Litigation Fund and more are expected as the request works through the normal Council cycle.
In this suit, the Ministry of Transportation is a co-defendent with the Regional Municipality of York.
Background: An application was filed with the Superior Court of Justice to have the Minimum Maintenance Standards declared null and void. This application was filed by individuals who have also filed suit against a municipality for a winter related accident. The municipality is attempting to defend the action, in part, by proving that they were in compliance with the Minimum Maintenance Standards.
