Winter Walking and Cycling

[danbrotherston]

I think reminding people to keep aware of their surroundings is a great move, and I'm glad they did it.  I'm so tired of people being unaware of what's going on around them.

It’s not a bad thing, but I think it illustrates a formula that they seem to use: a little bit about the specific story, followed not by more details on the story itself but instead by a boilerplate story, in this case pro forma reminders to pedestrians to look around them. Wouldn’t the time have been better used explaining more details about the implications of the bylaw as written, or talking about what other cities do?

PS re the comment above about dates on the videos: it’s amazing how many large organizations haven’t the faintest clue how to run a proper website. The average independent blogger has a better website than many large media companies.

Or at a minimum making clear that the harm they're talking about (broken bones, concussions) at the hospital are largely caused by a) property owners not clearing their sidewalks, and b) city council not making clear safe sidewalks a priority.

Instead they give advice that while, maybe helpful, is beside the point.  As a society, we barely acknowledge the existence of a society...
