When our resources are being overwhelmed in clearing snow then yes, absolutely the roads must be our only concern. Once the plows aren't being overwhelmed then and only then should they worry about trivial things like bike paths.

I don't think there is any disagreement here. Post-snowstorm removal is what we're talking about. Roads are all you can do in the middle of a storm. In the days that follow they can plow and snowblow the bikelanes.

None of what you said is in dispute. It's just that you see things in such polar absolutes, you make it sound like we're asking for roads to be left with a foot of snow for drivers to spin their tires in, while bike lanes are sparkling and heated.

I've said this a million times before and I'll say it again calmly : a request to improve a piece of infrastructure is NOT automatically a request to snatch your car away from you.

The article, and the comments, asked for dedicated bike lanes to be scraped by a plow, and for bike racks at city destinations (central library/market) to be cleared. What's with your lack of sense at interpreting this conversation?
