Sidewalk Snow Removal
322 W Kenwood DR
- Case Date:
- 1/8/2025
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.
The alley behind our leasing office is very icy. Cars are almost running into the buildings when trying to get though the alley. Can we please have someone throw salt throughout the back alley, please? It is bad on all 4 entrance points for the alley. Thank you
Sidewalks in front of the Montessori School have not had the snow removed since January 6th with the first big snow fall. The sidewalks are now entirely ice and very slippery. Several people in the neighborhood, including myself, rely on those sidewalks for walking their dogs, walking to the YMCA, etc.
There has been no attempt to remove snow from the sidewalk in front of apartment complex/housing duplex. The sidewalks are now completely iced over making it very dangerous to walk on, especially if heading north down the hill.
YMCA Fieldhouse has made no attempt to remove snow on the sidewalks off S Highland Ave and E Short Street. The sidewalks are iced over and very slippery. This makes travel on these sidewalks dangerous.
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.
Why was case# 199981 marked resolved??? The sidewalk has not been touched. This house has two addresses, 812 and 814.
No snow removal has been done on this very trafficked, very crucial public sidewalk all along this block of 3rd St and the next. There is no reasonable alternative to walking on this sidewalk as there is no shoulder on the road and the road is very busy. This sidewalk is needed to access crucial services like groceries and the University. There is a very thick layer of uneven and treacherous ice. This would be even more of a disaster for a disabled person or someone carrying groceries to navigate.
The corner and sidewalk along 2nd street next to Big Red Liquors is treacherous. Ice covered and hasn’t been touched since the first snow early last week.
