Winter Walking and Cycling

But I understand that it may not be a palatable option because it seems unfair to suburban residents to pay for sidewalk clearing 'downtown'.

Maybe pick a few neighbourhoods in different types of area of the city? So a different downtown neighbourhood, a couple of suburban neighbourhoods, some areas in between, maybe a major street (rather than an area). Then see what people in those areas think in the spring.

Kind of like a follow-up study, using the city clearing only, which seems to have been the most successful? Although the contracted work might have been OK if the clearing standards were the same.
