This is a little misleading.
The reality is, it isn't 24 hours of a snowfall, it's 24 hours of ANY snowfall. If it snows for 7 days straight, sidewalks don't need to be cleared. Further, if you judge based on when bylaw ACTUALLY comes out, they only come out the day after a day without snow, so it's actually 36 hours, and they don't work on weekends, so if it snows on Monday, the clock resets.
Even if 100% of property owners complied with the bylaw, it would still be entirely unacceptable.
