Levels of snow plow engagement:

  1. My job is driving a plow.
  2. My job is moving snow.
  3. My job is moving snow off this road/driveway.
  4. My job is to make movement easier for the people on this road/driveway.
  5. My job is to make movement easier for people in general.

Most plow drivers seem to be at #2 or #3. As a pedestrian, and winter cycling enthusiast (to be clear, I’m a supporter, not a participant, yet), I really wish more plow drivers and snow removal contractors were at #5.

Every time I go for a walk, I have to jump over places on the sidewalk where a contractor has carelessly thrown the snow from a driveway (thought - is this a bylaw infraction?). Not to mention all the times a sidewalk has been plowed, only to be filled in again by a street plow.

I’ll be back in the spring, complaining how all the winter crap from the streets gets pushed into bike lanes…
