Winter Walking and Cycling

I read the study and had the same conclusion that he did. Too small of a sample size and streets chosen arbitrarily. To do this study properly you have to choose streets city wide and with a much larger sample size. I’m not saying that there is not a problem but I would like to see if there is a larger concentration in one area over another part of the city. I could easily choose the same number of streets in my neighbourhood where you would probably see 95%+ of home owners are clearing their sidewalks promptly. Our neighbourhood sidewalks are cleared promptly by its residents and usually well before the streets are cleared. If we left side walk clearing up to the city we would most likely have a similar clearing schedule as to our streets. People would either wait for the city to clear the sidewalks making them all impassible or would more likely do the clearing themselves.
