This is done in the city where I grew up, London. In honesty, the municipality sometimes did not provide great service sometimes, and after significant snowfalls it could take several days to clear sidewalks. Since "the city does it," no property owner there would dream of shoveling the sidewalk in front of his building.
I do think it will eventually be done in many of the central neighbourhoods, where people walk more frequently.
Some property owners don't understand the importance, and it is worth it to contact the municipality to complain when it is not being done in a timely and safe way.
