Of all the modes of transportation, which is most easily able to continue moving around with virtually no problems in snow, unless it's a massive storm?

And yet that's the only mode we pump tons of money into clearing the snow for?? Makes zero sense. It's way tougher to walk or bike in the snow, yet we don't even attempt to clear snow for those transportation modes.

My cross-town commute this week from Locke/York to Cannon/Gage and back took 1 minute longer each way than usual due to the slower roads with snow/slush on them. We drove around 40km the entire way, with the odd time hitting 50 briefly. And it added. one. minute. to. the. drive.

Also, here is a list of streets I drove on with zero problems or traffic that was one lane less due to the snowbanks:

Cannon, both east and west of Sherman Herkimer east of Locke Locke, south of King Wilson Queen, south of Main Bay, south of Main

Think of the money we could save by permanently closing these lanes? Priorities.
