A joint City Council committee on Friday voted down a proposed pilot program for city-sponsored sidewalk snow plowing, defeating the measure after the proposal had sat in limbo for months. 

The Joint Committee on Pedestrian and Traffic Safety and Transportation and Public Way voted it down 13-4 even after being presented with a scaled-down version of what a working group had recommended.
