Sidewalks should at least be wide enough for two adults to comfortably walk beside eachother down the street. Busier pedestrian environments should allow a clear path for at least 2 couples to pass one another.

He works out of town about 70% of the year and 100% of that is in winter. Unless it snows the 3 or 4 days he is home at Christmas, he doesn't have much chance.
But really that wasn't the thrust of my comments, snow removal was merely the thing that got me to thinking about side walks in general.
