The path I ride from our house is 10 miles through four different towns. Three plow, our town didn't. So two years ago I brought it up with a Selectman I know, and wouldn't you know it, since then our town plows too. Main issue is ice from freeze/thaw cycles. One of the four towns actually puts down ice melt and sand. There are usually short icy stretches where I get off and walk the bike.
