Plus, the approach seems flawed to me. Wouldn't the comparison of interest be usage without clearing for one snow season vs. usage with clearing for a snow season not usage before winter vs. during winter with clearing?
Also it’s a bit weird to study whether a transportation route needs to be maintained. Would we study whether one particular residential cul-de-sac needed to be paved and plowed?
A cul de sac would have people who have no choice but to drive through there to get to their home while a trail isn't the only means for a person to get from one side to the other side since there would be an already existing sidewalk.
