On Jan. 6, 2015, Taryn Joy Marchi stepped through a snowbank into a classic Canadian legal conundrum. Nine years later, the results of her ensuing battle with the City of Nelson continue to reverberate across the country β€” especially on snowy days.

The general aspect of the cities essentially creating a pedestrian hazard to clear a path for cars is pretty interesting case law. Especially as we theoretically move towards a less car centric society.

I don't necessarily disagree with the judgement but I do feel logistically speaking the person clearing the side walks would have a lot easier time clearing a lot of those spots.
