Yay for my city that plows the sidewalks before the streets. I can't find the reference now but there was a good study about the health and safety benefits of prioritizing sidewalks. It's a feminist and anti-ableism issue.

A residential street after a light snow. The sidewalks have been plowed but not the street. When the plow reaches a corner of the sidewalk, they drive out to clear the cutout, circle around, and drive back into the other cutout, leaving a kind of ribbon design in the street.

Why Sweden Clears Snow-Covered Walkways Before Roads — Streetsblog USA

It's part of "gender-balanced" policy that reflects the fact that women walk more than men.

BTW if anybody can send me the link to that study, I'll include it in a thank you and encouragement email to the city. To help them stay strong in case there are drivers complaining because they think it should be the streets first.

Voilà ce que je viens d'écrire à la ville:
Bonjour,
Je voulais écrire en reconnaissance du travail de déneigement à Longueuil. Vous le savez surement déjà, puisque vous mettez la priorité sur le déneigement des trottoirs : c’est meilleur pour la santé et sécurité de toustes. Je suis toujours contente de me réveiller en hiver et voir que ma ville suit les meilleurs pratiques.
