I have a few like that in my neighbourhood, that are chronically uncleared. It's a shame, because it has to be said that most of my neighbours are diligent in clearing their sidewalks. There are a few who let it accumulate to the point where a few very light snowfalls make it all but impassable if you're using anything wheeled.
When you're pushing a stroller, or using a mobility device, or just have less than perfect balance, one or two property owners failing to clear their snow can make the difference. I find that most do a great job in Kitchener, much better than in other cities I've lived in, and it's an unfortunate reality that, when it comes to sidewalk clearing, the negligence of a few can undermine the hard work of a great many.
