I don't know or care what your beef is with OP, I ain't going there.

But an article can be imperfect but still raise an important point. The wording "priority" in the article may not have been the best word to choose, some intelligent comments, from people that understood what the author is trying to say, identify some gaps. Some of which may not be practical, others may be just a tiny adjustment, easy to fix. How do we know if we don't discuss it?

Let's talk about how much disabled people in this city should probably get priority when it comes to clearing snow downtown.

Residents and businesses are responsible for removing snow from their properties. Business would include wheelchair ramps and accessible exits. Residents that fall into this category can request assistance if they need it. There is coverage under the bylaws to make sure it is addressed.

"What? Did hipster mikeonthemountain just advocate leaving cars and buses stuck in the snow while we dig out wheelchair ramps first, bike lanes second, and the rest of the city last?"

No I did not. Twisting, distorting, and hyperbole pre-empted.

You would consider me an idiot if I judged the driving public based on the the most vitriolic comments in a right wing newspaper. Those turn into quite the circle jerk of idiocracy too, and repeat the same broken arguments over, too you know. I don't assume that all motorists have hearts and heads made of gasoline. Please, please, don't make equivalent ignorant assumptions about people based on their form of transportation.
