What did the RMWB say it would do?

Its snow policy says plowing every residential street in the winter maintenance zones takes two weeks in normal weather, and removing the snow takes four.

How we count this

Winter 2026-27

The statements

No statements published yet

Statements appear here after an editor checks each quote against its source. 12 statements are waiting for that check now. Each will show the RMWB's words and a link to the original, next to the records for and against it.

Until then, the data sources page lists every record we draw on.

How we assess

The rules, in plain words

What the five assessments mean
  • PendingThe question is still open: the deadline hasn't passed, or the records that would settle it aren't published yet.
  • Consistent with available recordsThe records we can find support it and none contradict it. If every supporting record comes from the RMWB itself, the receipt says so.
  • Not supported by available recordsThe records we can find should show it by now, and they don't. The work may still have happened without leaving a public record.
  • Contradicted by available recordsA record we can find shows something different. We show both, and the RMWB can reply on the receipt.
  • UnverifiableNo public record can confirm or refute it, such as a count kept in work orders that aren't public.
How a statement becomes a receipt

We track what the RMWB says in public about what it will do, by when, or what it has done, whether that's a news release, a service alert or a line of its own policy. Exact words go in quotation marks, and a summary is labelled as one. Every receipt names who said it and links to the original. An editor checks each quote against its source before it's published, and no assessment says anyone broke a rule or acted in bad faith.

How to read the counts on a receipt

Supporting and contradicting count the records an editor has attached to a statement. Missing counts things the RMWB said it would publish that we haven't found, such as a daily progress map. A record from the RMWB itself shows what the RMWB reported, with no outside check behind it. A statement with no records either way is still open.
