Well, there’s a lot to be said for having beat cops on foot, instead of zooming around in cruisers. But that might be off-topic…
I’ve thought something along the lines of your other idea.
The other week, I was climbing the stairs from King Street to the LCBO near Moore and King, and shared a laugh with a couple of homeless guys hanging out at the bottom about the care I was taking on the uncleared stairs. One wondered who was supposed to clear them.
On the way home, I thought maybe chaining a shovel up to the railing and letting people (whomever) get some exercise by clearing the stairs, or the ramp from the sidewalk to the street, whatever they want. I did have the thought that we could have shovels-chained-to-things at all kinds of high traffic places. It’s worth a try, maybe.
