<DIV>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. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Plus, it is just being a good neighbor. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Donovan<BR><BR><B><I>Janesta <janesta@gmail.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <DIV>I can relate!
