Blocked Sidewalk
3501 E 3rd St (This is where I live!)

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.
