SNOW DAY
The plows do the streets. Nobody does the sidewalk. The sidewalk is the whole problem.
Where this one came from
Built on the February 2026 blizzard response: emergency shoveller pay raised from 19 to 30 dollars an hour, with 1,214 shovellers clearing 7,398 crosswalks, 1,777 hydrants and 3,366 bus stops. The plow bike is invention. The point underneath it is real: the streets get plowed and the sidewalks are what actually strand people.
