An important part of the city-cleared sidewalks argument is that it wold be substantially cheaper if done using a city-owned bobcat snowplower.
How would it be cheaper if most homes clear the snow off the sidewalk themselves at no cost. For the ones that don't call bylaw, that is an enforcement issue, if they continue not doing it the city will do it and charge them.
