    Small city and towns don’t have cars now?

      Small cities and towns have a big problem solving things like black ice for cars. Hence the many accidents on days like that when people drive in those conditions. I know because I used to work for the local news station.

      But hey, we’re beyond relevance.

        Beyond relevance period?

        I thought I meant beyond relevance for urbanism, and by the way I mostly meant for this discussion about snow on bike lanes.

        Small towns going bankrupt is a result of newer means of transportation concentrating centers of activity within a region.

        If you can’t clean the ice for cars, cleaning it for bikes is cheaper. If you can’t do any, then don’t do any - you’ve got worse problems. Thus, irrelevant for this discussion.

          I can’t go by what you thought you meant. I went by what you said.

            You literally didn’t. You cut it off mid sentence.

            It’s insane how you’ve moved the goalpost from “It’s impossible to clean snow off bike lanes” to “it’s impossible to clean snow off some bike lanes when the conditions of the bike lanes are very specific” to “it’s impossible to clean off bikelanes when the city is tiny and too broke to clean it off roads in the first place”

            Guess what? Then don’t clean them. Discussion has been moved to a segment of the problem that is so small and uninteresting that and if you had been clear about your message in the first place, nobody would’ve needed to answer you

            Bye
