Whyte Avenue becomes very narrow and dangerous in winter because of the snow budget and clearing.

No finding
None of the City records we found gives Whyte Avenue's winter lane widths, so nobody can tell whether snow makes it dangerously narrow. We'll revisit this claim if one does.

The full reason, as recorded when it was set aside
We could not answer this before any research ran. "Very narrow and dangerous" has no measurable referent in any identified City record: the City's standard removes snow from business districts when windrows narrow the driving lanes below a stated width, but no City record reports lane widths, snow removal dates or a seasonal collision comparison for 82 Avenue through Old Strathcona. The budget phrase could mean no allocation or inadequate funding, and neither is the claim's point. It reopens if a City record states, for 82 Avenue through the Whyte Avenue business district, the dates and extent of snow removal in a winter, the driving-lane widths left after clearing, or a collision comparison by season, or if a later source states the claim in a form the record can measure.
