Toronto residents are facing ethical dilemmas over parking spots they clear after a significant snowstorm that dropped 56 cm of snow. Lawyer Laya Witty advises that shoveling a space does not grant ownership, as public streets are shared resources. Leaving objects to reserve a space is considered littering, and while there may be social etiquette around this, it is not legally recognized. Drivers should also heed temporary snow removal signs to avoid fines or towing, as residential parking permits do not guarantee a space.
