Inaccesible Sidewalks under Snow

A large snowstorm is a challenge for any municipality. With large snow piles, and a limited amount of space, it takes a lot of planning and coordination. Snow storms also increase the inaccessibility of cities which already hold many barriers to people navigating the city with mobility limitations, carts, and strollers and for those who rely on foot, bike, or bus traffic to get around. This week on Sunday and Monday, a large amount of snow fell on Troy, with a snow emergency declared for a couple days later. This resulted in many walking and biking paths being covered in snow. Capital Streets has been paying attention to this, and James Rath Executive Director of Capital Streets spoke with Sina Basila Hickey.
