[Vision2020] shoveling snow into the road

[Donovan Arnold]

By law, a home owner owns the sidewalk and the road half way across to the neighbors. If they obstruct it, by refusing to remove the snow, or piling more snow onto it, they are breaking city ordinance. Please remove all snow and ice in the public right of way in front of your house. You could be sued if some poor elderly slips on it, or a wheelchair gets stuck in it. 
   
  Plus, it is just being a good neighbor. 
   
  Best,
   
  Donovan

  I just hope the sidewalks downtown are shoveled tomorrow, so our elderly and disabled friends who have no car, can walk safely. *smile*

It seems a bit dangerous to me.

If I was in my old rear-wheel drive car, I would have had trouble 
navigating through the pile that covered the west lane of Mountain View
by the intersection with White Avenue earlier today.  It looks to me
like the owner of the apartment building there on the corner dumped a
bunch of snow into the road.

I'd rather not get stuck because someone doesn't want to take up a
parking space or ruin their perfect lawn.
