Snow removal would be for sidewalks on major roadways and usually for only one side of the street.

Speaking as an elderly senior citizen at the twilight of my life, it would be nice if I could go to the store without having to walk on the road because of snow on the sidewalk, and in point of face, a bad fall not only left me bloodied, but led to me having to retire from my laast job because of serious damaje to my knees.

Now to the poll question. The answer is no. What good would it be for just one side to be cleaned for those living on the other side, especially senior citizens? The city never does anything out of the goodness of its heart, and as with everything else it does, it would simply slap the costs on the property owners on both sides of the street, or to be more precise, on all the property owners in the city.
