Winter Walking and Cycling

Maybe everybody should start doing the minimum. Don’t shovel at all until it’s been at least 24 hours since the last snowfall. I think pretty quickly people would realize that something would need to be done. On the other hand, in the short term it would hurt exactly the people we’re trying to help by moving snow clearing to the city.

The problem with this is that many property owners are only doing the minimum, and many are doing less than the minimum, and people who walk have realized that something needs to be done...I don't think even worse conditions could convince them even more.

The funny thing is, most property owners are exceeding the minimum by quite a bit, because the minimum is so terrible, multiple runs of 4-6 days where there is zero snow clearing required by bylaw, almost everyone who actually clears their sidewalks, exceeds this.
