Opinion: Snow removal not good enough for residents with walkers

My option was I had to walk, with my walker on the side of the road, and thankfully I wear a high visible vest.

Last Wednesday, I needed to go shopping at Save-On-Foods, which is across the road from the apartment that I live in.

The sidewalk was cleared of snow and West Austin Road was cleared of snow but for anyone walking, or for me having to shop using my handy walker, how on earth am I supposed to get my walker and myself across at least a two feet wide bank of snow at least three feet deep?

My option was I had to walk, with my walker on the side of the road, and thankfully I wear a high visible vest.

Can our City of Prince George do something better? Would I get a ticket from the RCMP for walking along the roadside? I hope not.
