He stresses that all the new bumpouts and islands are great for slowing traffic and making streets safer, but they can make life difficult for people doing snow removal if the city gets hit with a big snow storm. Not helping is the fact that a lot of the “delineators” rising out of the concrete to signal a piece of infrastructure are themselves white.
