What lies beneath the snow in Vancouver . . .
Something unusual is going on in Vancouver this winter. It's snowing -- a lot.
In reporting on life in the snow in her State of Vancouver blog, journalist Frances Bula shares her readers' comments about people failing to shovel their sidewalks.
Among the commentators is a Vancouver city council candidate who focuses on the large number of downtown condominiums that have not cleared their sidewalks. He suggests that snow-clogged sidewalks in front of condominiums may just be the tip of the iceberg in terms of poor maintenance and repair practices at those buildings and could be a danger sign. He then offers some sensible suggestions to condo boards and prospective purchasers.
