Though Trimet only gets a few stars from my experience, too many unshoveled walkways and many of those with more smokers than usual. Alas, the big December melt has begun! Thanks for your generous comments. It’s a resounding refrain heard once again, and coming from a fellow former Bostonian (moved here 7.5 yrs ago), I hear you loud and clear.

I live in the Alberta area and my street has been impassable if you don't have chains/ 4 wheel drive (until today). So I've been taking the bus and walking. I give Trimet a lot of credit for their efforts to make sure people could get around safely. I give my neighbors a D- for clearing sidewalks. Having moved here from Boston I can't believe how awful the sidewalks have been, and in many places, still are. I have awesome boots and still had to be very careful so as not to fall. And I'm pretty young and nimble! I feel really bad for those with mobility issues. I just can't believe that so many people were at home more than usual this past week and didn't clear their sidewalks at all. I used a ditch digging shovel (not a snow shovel, as they're all sold out everywhere that I could get to) to clear our walk several times. Thank you for this post!
