How about when the neighbors go out with their shovels and clear the street on their own? Is that illegal? And if it is, as Arlingtoon points out – so what? A small, third-tier residential street? Who is going to complain?

The ENT clearing his throat has to be a prime candidate for immediate enshrinement in the ARLNow Comments Hall of Fame.

Is there really that much snow here that it warrants plowing the bike trails? I ride, and think that even if you were to plow them, that the width of the trails is so small that water is just going to refreeze over the surface and create icy patches. I’d much rather ride across a crusty bit over black ice. That, or everyone should get bikes like my fried Jay has. He’s raced and won (I think he won), the Iditarod bike race (follows the same path as the dog-sled race).

Eh, I need a bigger car. The last time I ran over a pedestrian I could still feel the bump.

Ok cyclist, not sure how I’m being vague. I see it EVERYWHERE around here. The funny thing is, I remember when I see a cyclist stop at a red light…cause its so rare when they do.

Since you’re the cost-benefit expert, how much do you think it should or would cost to hire one guy to spend 1 hour with a 1 snowblower on the key bridge or some similar stretch?

Raptorguy, I would guess that that is a juvenile/young adults nest. The original Arlington parent pair have been pretty successful and I have seen a juvenile twice in 3 years, so maybe some of the juveniles are nesting nearby.
This time of the year the “old place” looks abandoned as often as not.

I could swear the school told us that was the reason there are no snow days. Do you have any idea how crappy it was to walk from Markley to the Frieze Building for an 8AM class during the winter with snow out in the pitch dark? IT SUCKED.
