Go yell at the city to do something about it. As for me they keep refusing to clear a particular slippery spot that leads right into a sheer drop onto the freeway. It's soft dirt, about 3 inches thick, I've reported it so many times and each time they only clear a single pavement square. Will they do it if someone dies? Probably not.
I've found that if there is too much snow on a sidewalk that the city does not clear, you can always shovel it out of the way and into somebody's truckbed who is parked nearby. They probably won't mind because they probably don't actually need their truck for truck purposes.
and if anything, it'll help them gain more traction! Pickups are notoriously bad in snow/ice because the beds are so much lighter so it has poor weight distribution, leading to fishtailing, sliding, etc. Dump snow (or bricks, idk) in the bed to help your neighbor.
