Likewise, have noticed in Burlington and Hamilton, not only are the bike lanes not cleared, it's where the snow gets piled. So riding on roads like Dundurn and Northshore is definitely sharrows right now. It does get messy when there is a large snowfall, at the same time, yeah it is evident that cycling does not even get acknowledged during winter, simply nobody cares about the few year round riders. I always thought one of the upsides of unseparated on road bike lanes was they get cleared by existing snowplows, but they don't, and are not navigable due to random snow piles, refrozen slush and other issues. Oh well, cautious but unapologetic lane sharing it is! On that topic I have not yet been murdered on Beckett Drive, an unfortunate but necessary winter route in place of the bruce trail, but yeah I have that going for me so that's nice.
