Brrrr...it's cold in the winter time. And woooo it's windy...sucks living in chicago sometimes, especially if you're a college student walking around in this antarctic weather. What also is no fun is slave labor, shoveling your driveway just because you're the offspring of the owners of the house. Don't worry though, I have come up with an invention that will make walking in wintertime like walking in candyland and no more shoveling!
Imagine light half tubes that are opaque. Now these are tubes that have a radius of about 10 ft. or so and a length of about 10 feet as well. You place these opaque tubes on the sidewalks linking the doors of one class room to another. They will have some sort of clamp or mechanism that attaches one segment to the next. Each segment will either be straight, a left turn, right turn, or a joiner (something that joins multiple straight sections (such as in an intersection). These will be weighted or fastened onto existing sidewalks, allowing people to walk in the middle, wind and snow-free. They will not cross roads however...as someone cleverly pointed out, it would block traffic, but they will provide a nice way to get from one classroom to another without wind or ice. It takes away the need of lots of salt, snowshovels and facility who run it. Once spring comes, just unfasten each segment from each other and from the ground, find a place to store it and take it out next year. For driveways, just make one with a bigger radius and possibly some sort of "door" at the end of it for easy access by cars, but keeps the snow out.
*heating of the tubes not included.

should be like my school... we have tunnels underground that connect almost all the buildings... of course that'll be difficult to do if the buildings were already built.... but yea...
yah tunnels are too expensive to add on existing campuses... what do you think about the idea just for driveways then?
hmm... in my opinion... I just feel like weather is something everyone needs to deal with on their own. Everyone has the capability to dress warmly for the cold outdoors. Although snow tunnels would be wonderful for a cold city of Rochester, I still think of it as a luxury. I'd rather wish they build more indoor tennis courts before they build snow tunnels.
hahaha our first disagreement in thoughts so far... i believe... uh oh we're like arch enemies on this topic =P
oh and for the driveways part... not exactly clear on wat you're talkin bout... it jus sounds like a bigger garage to me
