I love the idea of the city clearing the sidewalks. Where do you propose to get the money from? Police services? Transit? Bike lanes? Parks? I'm sure that dutch have invested in snow clearing equipment and I would love to see them handle the amount of snow we received in the last little while. Bet you dollars to donuts that they would be in a lot worse shape than we are. When is the last time they got a couple feet of snow in a few days? Ever?

That's the big thing so many on this site never ever take into account. The cost of things. From the Billion dollars for LRT to more buses and more bus routes and on and on and on. It's pretty easy to tell others how to spend their money (Don't tear that down, that ugly building has historical value) or the bike lanes have to be plowed even if there are only a dozen of us that use them but it's pretty tough to fund these things, no matter how wonderful you think it is.
