The City plows bike lanes in winter before it plows the streets.

No finding

The City's snow procedure gives clearing deadlines rather than the order crews worked, and we found no record of that order. We'll revisit this claim if such a record turns up.

The full reason, as recorded when it was set aside

We could not answer this before any research ran. The City's published snow and ice standard sets a completion deadline for each class of roadway and for its winter bike network; the second fairness check found that a deadline does not establish which facility crews plow first, so the standard answers a different question from the one the holder asked, and no published record of actual clearing order by snowfall was identified. The standard's classes and deadlines are reported as background without a verdict. It reopens if the City publishes a record of actual clearing by snowfall that states when each class of roadway and the bike network was completed, so that the order can be compared across a winter; the Snow and Ice Control Annual Report attached to report CO03513 is the first place to look.
