In what appears to be a first for Toronto, city staff confirm that the converted cement trucks will account for a small portion of the city's overall 1,100-vehicle snow clearing fleet (made up largely of vehicles operated by private contractors).
The concrete truck pictured above is from Viola, a major asphalt company that's headquartered in Markham, where the image was taken by an industry source and shared with CBC Toronto.
Corporate records obtained by CBC Toronto show Viola and Infrastructure Management, one of the companies that won snow-clearing contracts with the city, are linked. Even if the companies weren't linked, the winning companies are allowed to subcontract out 25 per cent of the work. City staff did not dispute the plow in the image could be used.
