May not seem like it but the cities are plowing and salting 24/7.
Think of how many streets are in Vancouver or any city for that matter and compare it to how many trucks/employees there are. If it doesn't directly benefit someone it may seem like they're doing nothing and they call them every name in the book, but they are working 24/7.
Believe it or not, the city workers deserve a bit of credit.
I'll add another comment on this - IF anyone may be wondering why a side street that's been plowed in the past hasn't been plowed this time around, look where cars are parked. If the plow can't make it down the street without doing damage to cars because they've parked to far away from the curb due to shoveling their sidewalks and dumping the snow on the road, they will not go down the street. It's not worth damaging 20 cars to satisfy 1 person.
