V:  Go take a look at that sidewalk.  I did and it is not cleared at all.  In fact, snow from the plows is pushed up onto the sidewalk.  I don't think you can even walk on it.  That said walking in the street in the dark is not a good idea either.  Further, the clearance between the edge of the road and the piled up snow is less than 2 feet.  Not much room to walk.
