I'm not sure I'd use the word "great" to describe those sidewalks. They're not uncleared. But I don't think better than the city would achieve with plowing. And several are not shovelled wide enough (which wouldn't be a problem with plowing) to allow a wheelchair or other mobility device to pass safely (or frankly, allow two people to walk side by side). An able person like myself has no problems, but someone who is less able is probably having a pretty difficult time. But frankly, they're probably better than average, which just goes to show what a problem the average is.
Also, not pictured is the inevitable wall of snow occurring at every crosswalk courtesy of the road plowing which is a complete barrier to anyone with a stroller, or walker, or wheelchair. But something that an able bodied person such as myself, might step over and refer to as "just fine".
As for Victoria, I can say from experience that the other side of King is substantially worse.
