Sidewalk Issues in the Winter

Gist of it is that this winter, people are failing to clear their sidewalks, and it's impacting the community. Some areas are clearly the responsibility of the city, while others are the responsibility of the property owner.

Long story short, uncleared sidewalks can be treacherous for those that travel on foot and people/businesses need to step up and do better.

My question is: What is our general consensus on the topic? Do you (those that have city sidewalks) clear your section, or wait for the town to do it, and why? Are businesses held to the same standard (asking as footage from the above seemed to show quite a few stretches that'd be in commercial areas) and should that standard change (such as increased standards as businesses in theory should have more funds to do such)?

I know I could do better at keeping my walkway/driveway cleared for the sake of potential guests/deliveries, but part of me likes that a somewhat messy driveway makes unexpected visitors less likely.
