1st street between Fess and Woodlawn is treacherous with coatings of ice on sidewalks, mostly outside visibly-advertised rental properties. The stretch of Woodlawn from First through Atwater is especially bad, so that pedestrians are simply walking on the street.
The entire next block on East Third (three houses) from my corner (3501 E 3rd) is covered with snow. But WORSE THAN THAT is the steep snow on the corner leading into that block, from the city plows that throw it aside, and it collects and collects. Two days ago I got STUCK in the heavy wet snow on the corner of East Third and Morningside (not my block, but the adjacent one going towards the car dealership) … and I could not move! The snow was so heavy and wet that I couldn’t get out of it! I had to ROLL DOWN INTO MONRINGSIDE DRIVE, then get on my knees, and thank God, finally push my way up with my hands from the ground. I am 76. This was embarassing and dangerous. I notified the Mayor. Her secretary April was gracious and said that I should file a ureport. So this is my report and I’m am MORE UPSET with the city plows and the huge mess left on street corners, than I am upset with my three neighboring houses. Yes, they NEED to shovel their sidewalks. But from what I was told from a Bloomingfoods Manager (Jacob) it is the city’s responsibility to clean the curbs! I don’t drive, so I need to be able to walk when it snows. Check MY DRIVEWAY and my sidewalk. I always shovel or have it shoveled. That is my responsibility. Please check into that block and give them the reminder that they need to hire it done or do it themselves. And please do something about your responsibility on these heavy curbs filled with snow plow snow.
Williamsburg Center strip mall has not cleared their sidewalks as of noon today, 1/14/25. The sidewalks are very slick as the snow has been packed down where people ave walked and no they are virtually sheets of ice.
Solid ice on the sidewalk. everyone else around has cleared their sidewalks.
All other nearby property owners have shoveled their sidewalks, why not this one?
It is almost a week since the snow and sidewalks aren’t shoveled. The 3700 block of Sare on both sides of the road hasn’t been shoveled.
Snow packed Inaccessible sidewalks is a problem in the entire area: Pete Ellis Dr, Longview, Kingston, & 3rd St. Only some parts of the sidewalks have been shoveled, if at all.
