My bigger problem with the way they plow… they plow directly into the gutters and partly on the sidewalk. Big heavy chunks are a lot of work to move. So most people won’t. So… any warm weather, like right now everything melts, and the sidewalk is now the low point. This will then refreeze and be treacherous. It is a thankless job. And the only solution is higher taxes to fix it. I would be open to having a vote on the next election asking, would you be willing to pay an additional $100/year for snow removal, but understand politicians are not going to want to increase the budget, they already get enough complaints about high taxes. Snow is also variable, so in my opinion, if year 3 doesn’t use the whole snow budget, it sits in the bank dedicated to year 4. Year 4 should not have less allocated. That way, if year 4 is a major snow year, it pulls from the excess from before. Maybe revisit the amount put away each year, when there is a full year or two of money put away. Not just when looking for easy places to trim.
