It is too bad that winter isn't more consistently and predictably cold. It would be an interesting experiment in tactical infrastructure to have the street plow first clear a street, for example university, and then have a smaller plow then clear a bike lane and push the snow back into the street leaving the snow windrow between the driving lane and the bike lane for an instant, but fleeting, segregated bike lane. It would probably provide some protection from an encroaching motorist by slowing them down if they happened to drift in to the cycling lane, but would create problems with visibility and ice and ponding in the bike line.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
