Winter brings its challenges for pedestrians. We've been lucky this year that there has not been a lot of snow, but last year was a tough year. I noticed last year that as the winter wore on, residents adopted a sense of shoveling fatigue. This meant that some sidewalks, particularly on residential streets whether they were in the compact downtown or further out, had spotty shovel clearing.
Poorly cleared sidewalks don't engender much winter walking. Will we see a day in the future when the municipalities begin to clear residential sidewalks to improve walkability?
