It comes at the expense of clearing a community road that serves even less people from less parts of the city.

This is the equivalent of telling a traffic cop "don't you know there are murders to solve?"
Well yeah, there are, that's not my job, and if I stopped doing this those murders don't get solved faster, this job just doesn't get done.
Not clearing the bike lanes doesn't mean Deerfood gets done quicker, it just means the bike lanes don't get cleared.

I didn't mean to imply there was something to that end of the conversation. I was just referring the to mobility issues and clearing, which I hoped was evident in my post. I just think that for people with mobility issues, the snow clearing leaves a lot to be desired. I've been out with people in wheelchairs or with a walker, and it's honestly a nightmare.
In a perfect world, the city would clear all the snow from every street and truck it away (or melt it away). I don't want to pay taxes for all that, so I'm fine with things the way they are.
