Strong sewage smell in the street on and off on 4th street between Maple and Waldron. Comes and goes, but probably is not good. Worried about sewage backup into house main.

There are numerous houses on Woodlawn Avenue north of University St that have very icy conditions. Many of these appear to be rental properties with signs for Chickering Rentals out front (although it is not only these properties). The snow ended on Saturday night and it is now Wednesday. It is fully apparent that absolutely no effort was put into snow removal, which has now produced icy conditions. This is unacceptable. The city needs to put more effort into managing repeat offender properties that do not care about being decent community members.
Not a request, a question based on a neighborhood association listserv post. Is this true: "They never clear the streets on Saturday or Sunday." Also, what does the City use for road "salt?" Thanks !
Sidewalks remain uncleared making the sidewalk inaccessible for pedestrian traffic
Large banners/signs on railings and fence at touchdown terrace apartments. Always up for every game.
No attempt at clearing snow
On December 3rd I was traveling on 2nd Street between Rogers and Walker when I got stuck in my wheelchair in front of the old hospital parking garage because the sidewalks were not cleared and the curb cuts were blocked by several inches of snow. When I tried to pass the curb cut I got stuck because none of the curb cuts along that stretch are flush with the ground like they should be. When another pedestrian tried to get me unstuck, I nearly got thrown back into traffic because the curb cuts are at an angle facing traffic. I ended up having to call the police. An officer ended up having to escort me in the street in order to get me where I needed to go because the sidewalks were completely impassible, both on 2nd Street and the side streets. There is absolutely no reason why any pedestrian, wheelchair user or not, should have to go in the street to get where they need to go. The owners of that land have a responsibility to clear the sidewalks when it snows, and maintain the curb cuts and sidewalks. The area is supposed to be redeveloped as part of Hopewell eventually, but it still has to be maintained in the meantime. Leaving it unaddressed is extremely dangerous. Someone is going to get hurt.
