Sure, I'm the "end o' story" guy in the movie "Fargo" out here chipping away at the driveway, but it doesn't take that much more effort to clear a sidewalk full-width than it does a goat path.
The block-end plow windrows are terrible and are made worse by those temporary bollard bump-outs the city has put up everywhere. #Minneapolis
I was driving to Bloomington the other day when I noticed the City of Richfield has Bobcats.
@rationaldoge Well, I’ve got 10 years of data from my corner lot that shows it’s actually a lot more work to clear the full sidewalk then I goat path. And, bollards aren’t the problem. BTW, over the past 10 years I have repeatedly got compliments from neighbors about my clear sidewalks. But, there is a better path forward if we simply had effective leader, ship from the mayor, and the head of public works. Both are completely ineffectual leaders. What a joke.
@rationaldoge I don’t think there is a path forward for full municipal sidewalk clearing, but I wish that we had leadership with enough vision to explore other models. That’s why I like that CM Wonsley is pushing the issue. Instead what we see with the Mayor and the Director of Public Works is a very dismissive tone on this issue. Clearly, the current system isn’t working so I’m not sure why the Director of public works wouldn’t want to explore alternatives.
