Winter Walking and Cycling

[robdrimmie]

The town of Elmira has it's sidewalks cleared (I believe by a hired company), and they seem to have them cleared pretty quickly after a snowfall. In fact, I have seen them out while the snow is still falling.
Can't imagine why it would be any more complicated or troublesome to do the same here in the city/cities.

I think the complications aren't in the implementation of the plan, but in the politics. Any changes to how money is allocated, or anything that increases taxes, is immediately met with very vocal complaint.

I can imagine all the "snowflake" jokes now.
