       @kim_harding This is the local government's job to do, not mine. What's the purpose of paying taxes if only they clear the roads for cars and not bikes or pedestrians?

       @burningTyger @kim_harding I've heard of some instances where - an organized community group or just a couple of friends started clearing bike lanes- this carried on for years- one day their machine broke or the person who was doing it got sick- citizens complained to city council that the bike lanes weren't being cleared- council was suprised to learn that they were ever cleared- that established expectation led the city to buy equipment and start clearing the bike lanes

       @burningTyger @kim_harding So, yes, it should be the city doing the work.  But there weren't enough people expecting the city to do it, until thousands of people thought the city was already doing it, and going back to the bad old days was a disappointing contrast.Sometimes you have to show people what's possible.
