Yeah. I believe this to be the biggest flaw in any system we have in place. As long as snowfall resets the clock any claims of increased enforcement is a joke because no one is in violation. I think that sidewalks need to be cleared at least once every 24 hours. There may be some extreme exceptions to that, but even if they're covered again in a few minutes remove that bottom snow reduces the likelihood it's going to get tamped down into thick ice.
What??? Snowfall resets the clock? I had no idea about this. That's insane. There are times where we get 10+ days in a row of snow. What's to stop me from not clearing my sidewalk during that time? Technically Id still be compliant.
Wow.
