The city does a pretty good job of keeping the Nose Creek pathway clear of snow in the winter too, it's a nice little secret for the year-round commuter.
Outside of summer, the pathways are largely left to the bikes which is nice. On the hot summer days though, I'd rather be on a road than dodging dog-walkers, roller-bladers, and the like on the pathways. Just my own experience though
