As the partner of one of those sidewalk snow plowers I can tell you first hand it is not an easy job. To the person who says these workers are not smart my guy has a master's degree in business and is just doing this temp work until he finds something in his field.
Last week we had two piggy back storms, the workers are called when 2cm are on the ground, their route takes on average 12 hours from start to finish. So if you are in the area where they began to plow during the first storm your sidewalks accumulated more than someone at the end of the route. The third issue was the freezing rain mucking up any progress they made with the snow. So he worked 4 days in a row for 12-14 hours trying to clear the mess. Homeowners and business should take responsibility to clear in front of their property. The plows can only do so much and cannot completely clear all major walkways of all the snow and ice.
I am amazed as someone who walks to work at the irresponsible homeowners and businesses who don't even salt their icy walkways.
