I think the municipality would have to declare and sign the bicycle lanes as officially closed to avoid being held accountable/liable.
The sidewalk standard is still a bit of a joke, but it is a start:
a) to reduce the snow to a depth less than or equal to 8 centimetres within 48 hours; and
b) to provide a minimum sidewalk width of 1 metre. O. Reg. 366/18, s. 15.
The bicycle lanes standards (note that, for classes 1,2,3 the time to clear is double the amount allowed for the motor vehicle lane):
Adjacent/on Class 1 roads 2.5 cm accumulation cleared within 8 hours
Adjacent/on Class 2 roads 5.0 cm accumulation cleared within 12 hours
Adjacent/on Class 3 roads 8.0 cm accumulation cleared within 24 hours
Adjacent/on Class 4 roads 8.0 cm accumulation cleared within 24 hours
Adjacent/on Class 5 roads 10.0 cm accumulation cleared within 24 hours

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
