Pedestrians, at this time of year, in this neck of the woods, are often at the mercy of Mother Nature. ‘She’ can play a significant role in factors which affect the condition of streets, trails and sidewalks during the winter and spring months. Clear sidewalks and pedestrian crossings are essential to people of all ages who walk to work, head off to school or simply walk to get exercise. They are imperative to the handicapped and people who utilize scooters as a way of commuting. Walkable Camrose takes this opportunity to recognize Camrose business owners who have gone the extra mile this season in keeping the sidewalks in shopping areas free of snow and packed ice. Hard-packed snow is a huge detriment to easy mobility. Prompt removal is the ultimate solution. Sanding or sprinkling salt on areas where ice has formed can increase pedestrian safety. Pedestrians can also protect themselves by wearing proper footwear.
