When I lived in a house and the city blocked me in I'd try to shovel the snow on either side of the driveway as best I could.

Eeeeeexactly. I shovel it as high as I can - but the snowbanks are now taller than I am on my street, so what option do I have, other than to build a new mountain that is bulging out onto the street? There is physically no where else for it to go.
Last year, two or three times a giant snowblower auger attached to a huge truck came along and chewed down this mountain ridge right to the curb. It was awesome, and totally necessary... haven't seen that equipment come by yet this year.
The auger is making its rounds, they have passed on Queens Blvd & Westmount in the last week.
