    The general aspect of the cities essentially creating a pedestrian hazard to clear a path for cars is pretty interesting case law. Especially as we theoretically move towards a less car centric society.

    I don’t necessarily disagree with the judgement but I do feel logistically speaking the person clearing the side walks would have a lot easier time clearing a lot of those spots.
