In it, the city recognizes that the safe operation of motor vehicles is the responsibility of the driver.
Street plowing and sanding at intersections is done by city crews in order to help the driver with conditions of the streets.

After reading some of the blogs commenting on the Coalition For Common Sense Use, I’m frustrated by the authors’ apparent misunderstanding.
This grassroots movement is about more than motorized access. Much more.
The Coalition actually spans a much bigger picture. I was inspired to see so many faces at our foundation dinner event, which included nearly 300 people from many diverse backgrounds. Those faces included farmers; ranchers; people from the petroleum, gem and mineral industries; horsemen; bicyclers; motorcycle riders; snowmobilers and business people who are sick and tired of government entities telling us what we can’t do.
