    In a city where the vast majority either walk to work, or walk to the subway to get to work, I can’t imagine. We clear roadways in the midwest and no one bats an eye, but clearing sidewalks in a walkable city is crazy to them.

      It is because they personally do not walk on the sidewalks and don’t se employees as people and would rather they just trudged through the drifts to thank them for a paycheck.

      They do know that trucks move goods around, which they care about.

      Therefore roads being cleared is important to the wealthy and sidewalks are not.
