Winter Walking and Cycling

[darts]

Is there a significant proportion of the population that is impeded? GRT has somewhere between 7-10% ridership. Not sure how many of those riders have mobility issues.


Separately,
With sidewalks cleared those users would still have issues leaving the house since the city wouldn't be clearing their walkways/driveways if they lived in a detached home/townhouse without having to rely on someone who is able bodied enough to shovel the driveway/walkway or if they live in an apartment.

Not saying it isn't a step closer but it looks like to me that these drawbacks aren't considered or discussed (at least I haven't seen any mention of it here) and sidewalk clearing is discussed as if everything will be 100% perfect afterwards.

Reading this, I really strongly doubt you're discussing this in good faith. Not everyone will or can clear their own property to a certain standard without help and thus we shouldn't even bother clearing the public walkways that connect those properties? Can you even imagine someone making that kind of argument about public roadways?

Or can you imagine a system where every property owner was solely responsible for maintaining the public roads adjacent to their property, given what you already admit is their inability to even maintain their own driveway? And yet this is the system we expect students, the elderly, parents with small children, and people with mobility issues to rely upon every day in the winter.

I am trying to discuss it in good faith since I have been accused of doing a low effort drive by posting. Don't let previous replies to me bias your my attempt to 'correct' that.  

I brought it up because if they can't go on an uncleared sidewalk then they would have trouble getting through their driveway so they would still have the inability to get to their destination, and this has been overlooked as an issue.
