[quote=Anonymous]I think this makes a lot of sense. If the County is responsible for clearing the roads for cars, why wouldn’t the County also be responsible for sidewalks and ensuring safe access to public transportation? This makes a lot more sense to me vs having individuals responsible for small patches of sidewalk. My tax dollars get spent on multiple services that I don’t personally benefit from. As a frequent pedestrian, this makes sense. In the past, corners and bus stops get blocked not just by the snow, but by piles left by the snow plow. A few workers with small plows for the sidewalks is an efficient way to handle a concern that really only comes up a few times a year, but that can be very onerous for many — including the increase in cardiac events that we hear about when people, anxious about the requirements, push themselves to meet the guidelines.
