Do icy sidewalks make people mad?

TVA claims that icy sidewalks are making people angry. People are taking care over the ice, but I think most people know that the city can only do so much about weather conditions. Most sidewalks have been gravelled and, beyond that, we don’t yet have heat beams for removing inconvenient ice.

TVA also mentions the city’s ice-breaking machines and kvetching they’re not being used. But this morning on the radio the spokesman was saying the layer of ice is too thin to be safely broken that way. Probably if they were used, TVA would then have reason to complain they were damaging sidewalk surfaces.
