I hear you but the number of houses isn’t a problem. Nor is the snow really. That’s an issue of snowplows clearing the road for cars. Into the cycle lane. And leaving the pavements, which is actually where most posties cycle, uncleared. This is a big issue for older people in particular who depend on local shops and services.
But I will bang on about liveable cities ad nauseum if allowed to so I should shut up!
