@Scott You should take that up with the City. I listed their top 6 priorities and did not see allies on there, hence my comment.

I’m not familiar with the area around your alley, but many residents don’t have a choice whether to drive in the alley or not if they want to get to their own driveway. And in weather like this, it’s perfectly understandable that they wouldn’t want to park on the street!

Michael Kwan: no, you don’t have to but many people in your neighbourhood would think of you as an inconsiderate neighbour if you leave your sidewalk unplowed.

Another rule that needs mentioning:

DO NOT shovel the snow from your driveway and sidewalk over the fence and into the neighbour’s yard!!

Amazingly, some people are actually inconsiderate enough to be doing this when they think no one is watching.

[...] giant snowfall that we have experienced over the weekend. As a public service, she reminds us of snow etiquette in Vancouver. Be sure to clear the sidewalk in front of your house, avoid the extra icy side streets if at all [...]

So, living in East Vancouver, I don’t have to shovel my sidewalk?

Michael – There are bylaws in each municipality pertaining to shoveling their sidewalks (or at least the ones I’ve lived in)

There is also a law saying you do have to remove the snow off your car prior to using it. I know a couple people who have been pulled over and ticketed for it.

I didn’t know that the city snow-clearing bylaw did NOT apply to single family houses outside the Downtown Peninsula. I was always told that every property owner was responsible for clearing the snow off of the sidewalk in front of the building. I don’t live downtown, but I’ve always cleared the sidewalk in front of my house.
