On North Walnut Street between 10th Street and 17th streets on both sides of the road, there are several properties with sidewalks still covered with ice and snow, in apparent violation of the city's ordinance on sidewalk snow removal (BMC 6.07.010). The icy goat trails that are worn into the snow are a testament to the practical need for these sidewalks as a way to get from Point A to Point B. As the photo illustrates, some people opt to just walk in the road, instead of trying to navigate the icy goat trails. As the photo also shows, some property owners have been able to achieve clear and dry sidewalks. I would therefore request that this stretch of roadway be reviewed by HAND enforcement staff and that the available punishments under the law be applied to these properties.

Sidewalk going down Henderson between Timber Ridge and South High School are still completely covered in snow. This forces kids walking from South to Timber Ridge to cross the road unnecessarily twice in order to get home.

522 W 4th, 714 W 4th, 718 W 4th (large apartment complex), 810 W. 4th ALL OF THESE ADDRESSES HAVE NOT MADE ANY ATTEMPT TO CLEAR WALKS since beginning of storm. They are now solid ice and very treacherous. Just this morning I helped an older woman who slipped trying to navigate. I have called twice—perhaps because we are not a wealthy community like the East side, the city does not care? Could anyone look at these houses and fine these slumlords?
