For those of you who shovel your sidewalks by hand, no snowblower or

employee doing it, how wide do you shovel?

Full width. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

You want to allow for two people walking side by side, perhaps assisting
one who's disabled, perhaps walking a dog, perhaps with compromised
vision - lots of reasons to do more than a narrow path.

Also, the narrow path gets harder to keep clear, as later snows get walked
on, and as melt water freezes.

Also what about wheelchairs or electric scooters, they need extra room to
get through.
