This is the future Mayor Johnson and City Council are keeping from you. #PlowTheSidewalks
I know that many other cities don’t plow their sidewalks, leaving it up to property owners. This is completely crazy to me.
Our sidewalk plows look like this and they do a pretty good job.

Many people are saying we should plow the sidewalks. You're hearing it more and more. And if you agree, you should support @betterstreetschicago.org - perhaps make a donation this Giving Tuesday!

What if — hear me out — instead of hiring a person to only plow in front of a single business, we hired them to go down the entire block….and the next…and the next…
We could even have a small fleet to cover whole swaths of the city. #PlowTheSidewalks

Just saw a mother with several small children and a stroller struggling to get through the snow.
If we were to #PlowTheSidewalks it would benefit everyone, no matter how they get around.

So many haters have told us it would never snow again and that we were fighting a fool’s errand…

#PlowTheSidewalks would pilot sidewalk snow plowing in Chicago and fix a century old burden unnecessarily placed on residents, and correct and unjust system that harms hundreds of thousands of residents. The pilot was killed over fake fears. Let’s remember who did this:

Remember when city council didn’t pass the #plowthesidewalks pilot?
Isn’t it amazing how the city enabled this icy slide to develop on their property (a bridge), and it stops immediately at a private property’s sidewalk frontage?

Chicago's city council voted to not pilot this. #plowthesidewalks
This is a small snow plow for sidewalks
If your city plows the roads but leaves sidewalks up to property owners, your city hates pedestrians.

Fines don’t shovel sidewalks.

How about just ticketing people that don't shovel, ya know, like they're supposed to 🤷♂️

See an unplowed sidewalk today? We want to see it!
Be sure to post and use the tag #PlowTheSidewalks — oh and be sure to tag your alderperson too, letting them know you still want to see a pilot program!

Prayers for folks who need to use the sidewalk tomorrow. Expect an influx of ER visits as folks try to shovel their way out. We need a city-wide #PlowtheSidewalks program.
