Flipping Sidewalk

A Sidewalk that flips over to get rid of snow
  [vote for,

The sidewalk would be made of a strong and (relative to concrete) light material, and each square would be suspended above a 6-4 foot deep trench in the front lawn. the blocks would each be attached to an axel that runs through the middle, and is turned by a conveyor belt. when snow builds up on the sidewalk, a motor is activated, a small orange warning fence pops up in front of the sidewalk, and each block would flip over, dumping the snow into the trench. especially useful to those with back problems.

       Could also serve as the diabolical trap door on your doorstep for the Mormons or other sales people.

       How about the Evil Flipping Sidewalk to go with the Evil Door?   

       [+] on this though.

       What would happen if one cracked? Would there be a sidewalk rescue team?   

       Just riding your scooter/bike down the sidewalk and *Thwomp* you fall down a 6 foot pothole.
