Would love to go to the meeting but can't. 

As a year-round walker, not much will improve until we a) have better weather control or b) actually enforce sidewalk clearing ordinances.

The area around UMD, with hundreds of pedestrians walking neighborhood sidewalks everyday, is potentially deadly due to snow-covered and slippery sidewalks (rental properties?) which forces peds to walk in the streets. In addition, crosswalk placement makes no sense and lack of sidewalks in many spots is senseless.
