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?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.
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 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.
People with mobility issues can make arrangements for maintaining their own property or live in a property where this is done for them. They cannot make arrangements for every property they pass on the way to their destination, except of course by means of their municipal government, which is precisely the proposal we are discussing.
