Meanwhile in Other Cities: Another Look at Moncton

I know I’ve written quote a lot about Moncton and I may have seen it (or at least its sidewalk snow clearing) through rose coloured spectacles. So, for the record, this satirical piece in The Manatee suggests that winter walking still isn’t quite perfect there.

“Removing the sidewalks and widening the streets will give people a better place to walk, and actually save the city money in the long run. Sure, there might be a slight increase in deaths from vehicle-pedestrian collisions, but way fewer injuries from falls and sprains. Premier Higgs told me the province will even help fund the work, because it will save the health-care system so much money.”
