I got a notice too and cleaned my sidewalks. I agree with the rule that owners should clear their sidewalks.
As for plowing the worst part of plowing talking to the Newfies at work is that when the plows plow your street they block the driveways with plowed snow. With narrow lots and double car drive ways the plows would have to put the snow in front of peoples driveways and then we would see posts on here about the plows suck.
I don't think it is prudent for calgary to plow residential streets. The problem is most winters we don't need it so the capital outlay for the additional equipment and staff would be more then say edmonton where the plows would be used regularly. We shouldn't base policy on the worst case winter it should be based on the average winter. If every 10 years we have streets like this I am okay with it.
