PSA! IF YOU HAVE BIKE LANES IN FRONT OF YOUR BUILDING PLEASE SHOVEL THEM!

[Anonymous]

Yet again the city has utterly failed people who are car free or lower income by not clearing bike lanes, so I’m appeal8ng directly to the people with sections of bike lanes in front of their buildings - PLEASE clear off your bike lanes.

TIA.

Nah, I shovel my sidewalk but not the street.

Laughable to try to hide behind low income people for your little hobby.

I am very pro bike lane, but no way in hell am I shovelling the street.

Put in a request to have them plowed.

Perhaps you can find a portable shovel that attaches to your bike and then you can stop and shovel it yourself.

You should put a plow on your bike.

How to convert a bike into a snow plow
Wild
December 3, 2019
Across most of the US and Canada right now, cities are digging themselves out from the first “snowmageddon” of the winter. Highways and streets are getting plowed. Pedestrian sidewalks are getting shoveled and de-iced to keep walkers upright. It

isn’t a problem that gets solved by residents with brooms and shovels. We’re going to have to engineer our way out of this with something narrow that rolls and plows…possibly a bike snow plow.

Simple bike snow plows..

Self reliance.

1. The city, not residents are required to plow the street.
2. Most side streets are going to take time to plow for cars and bikes.
3. If it’s a building, that is building management issues. No idea why you are all caps yelling here.

Seriously. This is hilarious.

I'lll bite, live in a snowy city (Ottawa) currently and live off a major street with a separated, two way bike lane and it gets plowed early.

I do think it helps with accessibility, I see people with wheelchairs and scooters and strollers using it since it is flatter and clearer than the sidewalk (we do get our sidewalks plowed here too). But I wouldn't be out there shovellling out a random bike lane for hobby cyclists.

No way am I shoveling the street. You have lost your mind.

The bike lanes don't belong to the building residents.
