while equally frustrating given how much 6 - 10 weeks eats into to the limited time of year we get to really enjoy the outdoors, to be fair we don't remove snow from the vast majority of our streets and we don't remove it at all from any of sidewalks. IF things go according to plan, we plow our major arterials within 72 hours, actual removal from those roads can take quite a bit longer.
while you're comparing apples to oranges (or should that be snow to dirt?), i completely agree with you conclusion. our beloved city still simply does a crap job cleaning up crap in more than one way.
