Sidewalk Snow Removal:

Other: On 2/13, before the current snow, I walked to Kirkwood and back, 7 blocks on Washington and returning on Lincoln. I found only 2-3 houses that had clear sidewalks. What appeared to be rental houses, and there are many, were not cleared. It at one point made me walk in the street because of the depth and was blasted by a driver for doing so. I returned to the sidewalk as quickly as possible but it was not safe...ice had built up. So....after this snow, I see the same thing. One reason for being close to town is that you don't have to drive to do simple errands. What kind of call out to landlords and tenants can be made vs. imposing unwanted and probably ill received responses??? Thanks for listening and I hope to hear some kind of response.
