We got The Call this evening. Kidlet's response: A quiet "Yeah!"
In a statement, Mayor Walsh said:
This is a public safety issue. I am confident that our roads are safe and drivable, and that our schools will be clear by tomorrow morning. But, I have grave concerns about the status of our sidewalks and the well-being of students walking to and from their bus stops, or needing to stand in the street when they are waiting for the bus. Our crews will continue to remove snow from the streets and bus stops tonight and our top priority is working with residents and businesses to clear sidewalks to ensure that school will be open on Friday.

Boston's taxes higher than Brookline's
By Stevil

Two similarly priced properties - Boston resident pays almost 10% more (and fortunately for Boston, businesses still pay 60% of the overall tax base. Expenditures per person are about the same - $4300-$4400, Brookline might be 1-2% higher.
Just sayin'...

because I was going to light your comment up.
I will add only that when you consider what you get for the tax money, the discrepancy that Stevil points out is even more outrageous (from a Boston taxpayer point of view).
Alas, my decade and a half as a Brookliner is (somewhat unexpectedly) coming to a close, so UHub will be looking for someone else to extol the virtues of the paramecium-shaped Town.
Never fear, however, I'll be chiming in from an even more despised municipality soon.

Get up off the couch and take a look at the streets...they ain't exactly clear of snow. How the heck do you think they can find the manpower, never mind the $$, to clean every sidewalk in the city when they can't even keep up with the streets (although overall I think they do an admirable job)? My condo pays $40.00 per man-hour for shovelers. You think the taxpayers (I'm pretty sure you're not one of us) want to foot the bill for that?
Red herring
By Matthew

Whether the city cleared sidewalks or you hired a private company, you would be paying something either way. Or you would be paying with time by doing it yourself.
I've heard the argument that some people would rather hire their own contractors to clear the snow than rely on the public works department. I can understand that position. But consider this: suppose we cleared motorways the same way that we cleared sidewalks. That would cause an immediate problem: some sections of the motorway would be plowed, and some sections would not. But the street is only usable once the entire length has been plowed, because it forms part of a network. Any section that blocks traffic renders the entire motorway almost unusable and blocks the network.
The same applies to sidewalks. The management company of my apartment is very conscientious and clears its sidewalks right away. But the neighboring building is more derelict. So I can walk out of my home and along the sidewalk for about 30 feet, and then I run into a big wall of snow. That renders the sidewalk network useless. So I walk in the middle of the street, where at least it's been cleared consistently.
Having every management company hire separate contractors to come shovel out snow is also very inefficient. Think about it. They all have to separately make their way to my street, and then back home. They operate at different times and don't always integrate well with each other. One might push snow onto another one's recently cleared sidewalk for instance, or up against a curb ramp. Or they just don't work together to make a coherent path. The results are very inconsistent. And if even a single landlord does not clear the sidewalk in front of his or her property, then everyone else's work goes for naught until that situation is rectified.
It would make a lot more sense for everyone on the block to get together and jointly hire a snow-clearing company to shovel out the entire block in one coherent, consistent way. And then that repeats at the larger level, until you realize that it's better off if the city is consistently maintaining and monitoring its network of shoveling and plowing sidewalks. Just like they have opted to do with motorways -- because everyone seems to understand that a piecemeal job simply doesn't work when it comes to clearing the way for motor vehicles. It would be nice if people realized that the same logic applies to sidewalks.
The points about labor and effectiveness are well-taken. But that doesn't change the fact that sidewalks form a network, that inconsistent clearing of the sidewalks renders them useless, and that you still have to pay one way or another no matter if sidewalk clearing is done privately or publicly.
Two questions

When was the last time you saw a pedestrian who couldn't move in the snow? (the little kid that gets knocked down in his snowsuit in A Christmas Story Doesn't Count)
When was the last time you saw a car that couldn't make it through the snow?
That is why we plow the roads and fend for ourselves on the sidewalks.

You clearly don't walk much. I dare you to try to navigate the sidewalks that are currently buried under 5+ feet of icy plow bank. I tried yesterday, and I tried today, and I just couldn't do it.
Pedestrians that have difficulty with snow

That's not what a red herring
By tenfortyseven

That's not what a red herring is, and you totally missed my point. Snow shovelers cost lots and lots of money. You have to pay a fair salary, workman's comp, etc. It's not as simple as hiring the kid next door for 20 bucks to clear your walk. And no one wants taxes raised (except those on here who clearly do not pay taxes, and have never, payed taxes, and have no intention of paying taxes). So I think It's unlikely the city is going to start clearing all the sidewalks any time soon.
Time is money

Many of these management companies and property owners are already paying contractors to clear snow. What's the difference between everyone paying separately for uncoordinated clearance, vs everyone paying together for coordinated clearance?
I understand that some people value their time less, or like exercise, and would prefer to shovel the snow themselves. That's still a cost, it's just expressed in time rather than dollars. I can understand it. But again, consider what would happen if we applied the same reasoning to motorways. Some people might prefer to clear the motorway in front of their house themselves, rather than paying taxes to have the city do it. But that would produce an inconsistent, partly-usable network of streets after a storm. Since we have determined that is not an acceptable outcome, we instead all pay taxes to have the city do a coordinated job.
It's not much of a leap to apply the same logic to sidewalks. That is, if you care about having a consistently cleared network of sidewalks. Many people don't seem to care about that. But nobody should be surprised that pedestrians make use of the motorway in that case.

Sidewalk clearing done right
By anon

I live in Manchester NH and they have Bobcats and other sidewalk-sized snow equipment here. They're out in parallel with the snowplows in the downtown area and the few streets adjoining it, and within a day or two after the storm, they finish up in all the residential areas.
Obviously this adds some costs to the city's snowplowing budget, but I can't imagine it's that much (in proportion to the rest). Overall, a handful of Bobcats is going to be a small fraction of equipment costs compared to the fleet of enormous snow-removers and plows and other trucks they use to clean the roads.
It's quick, it's efficient, and it makes for consistently cleaned sidewalks.
And eventually I picture someone, who went out to shovel his sidewalk solely because he was afraid of getting ticketed, having a heart attack, and suing the city for a million dollars in damages. If that ever happens, suddenly the idea of the city just adding another couple dozen pieces of snow-removal equipment to their inventory won't seem like such a bad idea.

Shiny New DPW

Manchester, NH just got a ginormous shiny new DPW (I mean, huge). They must prioritize their city-wide budget differently than Boston.

Meaning Manchester acknowledges the importance of the DPW team as first responders during weather events. I consider the two to be hand in hand. They consider it part of their job to clear streets and walks and believe it important to invest in shiny new large DPW building to protect their investments (aka, vehicle/equipment fleet).
There's no need to be defensive about a shiny new DPW. I think it's a good thing. I can tell you, being present at Town Meetings is interesting: some members don't see the need for a new building even when the old is falling down around the DPW's ears. Some have even questioned the need for plowing - they've got giant SUVs, so what's a little snow to them? The importance of emergency access doesn't seem to deter this sentiment. Manchester feels differently.

Big difference between Cambridge and elsewhere
By Markk02474
Thu, 01/29/2015 - 1:58am
Cambridge DPW does the trash collection while most other places use contractors.
The difference is that Cambridge owns heavy vehicles and employs licensed commercial drivers to drive garbage trucks. Drivers who can't collect trash due to a storm can instead plow snow.
When trash is outsourced, DPW departments shrink, there aren't the drivers for snow removal, and then that has to get outsourced too.

I think this is an interesting question. I live in Readville, so if I come out of my house and turn left, it's Hyde Park and Boston for 10 miles or more, where property owners shovel their own sidewalks. If I come out and turn right, I'm in Dedham in a block and a half, and Dedham uses city equipment to clear the sidewalks. I've never seen the equipment at work, just the tracks, which are narrower than a typical Bobcat, have tires instead of treads, and push a snowblower about 48" wide.
I run a lot, so I've had lots of opportunities to test out the fruits of both approaches. In Boston, the people who shovel tend to do a great job, scraping and salting down to bare cement within a day or two of the storm. Unfortunately, in my neighborhood about one in every five houses doesn't bother to shovel at all, and in a lot of neighborhoods that ratio is a lot worse. Add to that the a-hole homeowners and businesses who plow giant piles of snow out of their parking areas onto the sidewalk, and you end up going into the street and taking your life into your hands all the time. Good luck staying on the sidewalk for one whole block.
In Dedham, the snow equipment goes around residential and commercial neighborhoods clearing the sidewalks. It takes a while, so it may be a few days after a storm before they clear any given area, but because bad actors can't screw it up, every home's sidewalk is cleared equally. Equally badly, that is. The snowblower they use leaves 4-8" of residual snow and slush behind, which then re-freezes into an impenetrable ice block that nobody can walk on, and when the thaw eventually comes, that snowblower path becomes a canal.
TL;DR version: Pedestrians are screwed no matter who's responsible for clearing sidewalks.
You've got my Canadian theory
By Waquiot
Thu, 01/29/2015 - 2:14pm
If you've ever been in Montreal or Toronto in the winter, you'd agree that the sidewalks are not in the best of shape, even downtown. Snow and slush are everywhere, with the standard being seemingly "at least it is level." Meanwhile, in a place like Boston or Minneapolis, if you hit the right set of neighbors (which I like to think I am, the current state of the sidewalk notwithstanding) you've got dry pavement a day after the storm.
I'm no libertarian or economic conservative, but it does seem that when property owners take pride in having clear sidewalks, the results are better than the government just trying to make things passable.

Idea for hot coals

Use our coal shovels to throw hot coals on the snow shovels!
they used to use the coal

they used to use the coal ashes to put down over the snow and ice , even the public schools did this. They had coal heat too!
Smart Idea

The dark coal ash increases the absorption of solar heat to melt the snow and ice within days.
Only problem are things like lead, mercury, and other bad stuff in the ash.

Snow what?

The MBTA claims responsibility for clearing only some bus stops, the rest are supposed to be cleared by abutters.
http://www.mbta.com/winter/bus_status/
I'm guessing that's not common knowledge.
In my Dot neighborhood, there are a number of houses for sale. These do not get shoveled. I feel like the city would do well to up fines for repeat offenders *and* to send someone out to shovel. Maybe add the properties to that "elderly neighbors need your help" site.
Another problem is sidewalks that abut parks and city property. These are never cleared of snow....
MBTA has no authority

to make property abutters clear the snow at stops they don't bother clearing! While many communities will put sidewalk clearing on residents, bus stops are usually not included.
Thanks for the good link.
