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.
This property had snow on the sidewalks for a week, as did all properties in the neighborhood under Parker Management. The issue was reported to HAND early on, but by the time they acted on it the snow had turned into glaciers that are nearly impossible to remove, and they did so by issuing a fine to the tenants of the property on the first day of the semester and when no shovels are available in any store, whereas they should be fining the *property owner* as per City Code: "6.07.010 - Snow and ice removal—Duty of abutting property owner." (Note especially the 36"-wide path requirement.) The Lincoln side of the property is still not shoveled. Will HAND issue daily fines to the management until they comply with the City ordinance?
Sidewalks along Patterson near church on the N side of the street have not been cleared from recent snow. Two people were walking in the street last night to avoid them. Please enforce snow removal along this pedestrian corridor.
I am wondering if any additional effort will be made to clear snow off of streets. Many side streets are one lane only. Sherwood Oaks is a good example but certainly not the only place with issues. Mailboxes are impossible to dig out with plowed snow blocking them.
Hello, the sidewalks along woodlawn from bryan park to the intersection on atwater are very hazardous. Many sections are unshoveled and are now frozen and slippery - I nearly fell today. Could these please be shoveled/salted? Thanks so much!
My small garbage can was emptied this morning, but unfortunately the lid was broken off. I need a new intact can delivered and the old one removed. Thank you
A large percentage (30%+) of sidewalks in the Bryan Park neighborhood are still covered with snow or ice which makes walking, running and pushing strollers very difficult. I understand there is an ordinance that stipulates fines if the snow or ice has not been removed 24hrs after the end of the weather event but it does not appear to be enforced. Many of the addresses appear to be rentals as well.
The trails in Bryan Park were not fully cleared of snow or salted after the major snow storm that happened a week ago. This has created hazardous icy conditions after some freeze/thaw cycles which makes walking and running there very difficult. The trails appear to have been plowed initial were but left 1-2" of snow that was never fully cleared and is now thawing partially during the warmer days and turning back to ice on the colder days.
The yellow flashing lights used to safely cross 4th st at S Rogers has no it been working for about 3 weeks
