This is true, and the point is, that such a system is inherently broken. It doesn't matter how well some homes are cleared if others are cleared poorly or not at all.
For some perspective, I just went for a walk around town, covering about 4.6 kms between Victoria St. and Allen St. I counted (and reported) 15 sidewalks that were entirely impassable for anyone not fully able such as myself. Most were quite inconvenient for me. And keep in mind, I am not counting sidewalks that were merely poorly cleared, or not up to city standards.
That's one uncleared property about every 300 meters or so.
Many of these sidewalks were on Park St., you know, an extremely busy through street with bus stops and no doubt, thousands of pedestrians.
Clearly, that's a broken system.
