Another important reason to clarify snow removal policies and available tools for bike routes: once we start getting separated bike routes (Cannon), how will they be cleared? Will riders be left to wipe out in uncleared snow? Will they become not navigable, forcing riders into traffic lanes where a separated network exists?

Bike lanes that are on-road with no separation (just about all of them) can be cleared by existing street plows. But in practice it doesn't work; parked cars and random snow piles keep most or all of the lane not navigable.

Will physically separated lanes be cleared by smaller trucks? Parks and rec equipment? Just curious - it would be good to know before it gets built :)
