Another irony here is that a few years back one of our Bikie friends mentioned to the City of Fitchburg that the racks at city hall were not plowed, so there was nowhere to park for public meetings and city business. This comment was met with a rather snippy answer:

"We don't have the staff to do that. If it's so important to you, maybe you should shovel the racks out yourself."

Of course, I suggested that the city could save even MORE money and staff time by having all the drivers using the city parking lot shovel their own spots....

And here we have a guy who decided to do it himself, and he gets dumped on. It's unclear whether the Forest Preserve folks are concerned that he will create hazardous conditions for others (icy spots or uncleared areas) or whether they are worried about him hurting himself in some way.

Want to know a very weird situation? Sidewalks aren't shoveled in Chicago because:

If it snows, and you do nothing, it is an "act of God", and you aren't liable for the conditions in front of your house/building.

If you shovel, you have altered the natural conditions, so you are liable if someone falls on a tiny patch of ice/snow.
