Winter Walking and Cycling

The service could be called "Plowed Sourcing".

So. Much. Win.

How expensive are shovels... This one at CanTire is ten bucks. Chain's about a buck a foot. Let's skip the chains and just buy twice as many shovels?

Or, for the price of four shovels per household per year, we could raise the tax revenue enough for the Cities to do it. *rage*

Speaking of crowd sourcing, though... I live in one of those places in the tri-cities that has a homeowners' association. I wonder how much we'd have to add to our membership fees to hire a service to clear the sidewalks... If it's a good enough idea for the city, maybe it's a good idea at the neighbourhood level as well.

Can anyone recommend a service? And a base service level? Someone on here _has_ to have worked this out or seen a successful contract before.

I'm surprised that we have "home owners associations" that don't clear snow.  

Or is a HOA somehow different from a condominium corporation.
