<DIV><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif'">And Saundra, I think your attitude is symptomatic of the problem. We cannot stop the ice and snow. But we can stop the car and ask an old man or woman walking on it for a ride. If they were walking, they could not have been that far of a drive. If you don't have time to take five minutes to drive the man home, obviously others don't have the 2 hours everyday to remove ice from the sidewalks.</SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif'">Donovan’s attitude is symptomatic of the problem. Other places manage to appropriately handle the situation, so I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with people here that we can’t. There are still FAR TOO MANY SIDEWALKS that are covered in compact ice that hasn’t melted. This is DAYS after the last snow. Bev, I agree with you about the problem areas you specified, but there are other areas just as problematic forcing pedestrians to take their lives into their hands either by walking in already too narrow streets or trying to negotiate icy sidewalks.</SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif'">Yesterday I saw an older gentleman carrying what looked like grocery bags trying to maintain his footing on icy sidewalks in the A Street area – he caught my eye so then I looked at the sidewalks he was heading towards and saw that stretches were just plain treacherous. Kids were out playing in that specific neighborhood so people are in town, yet many of the sidewalks were in deplorably icy conditions. I saw the same thing in other parts of town, including the central business district Thursday night. Many, if not most, sidewalks downtown and in residential districts have been appropriately shoveled throughout the tough conditions, which makes it all the more obvious that some people just don’t give a rip.</SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>But this is Idaho. It snows. It snows a lot. If snow is such a burden for people that they feel a need to sue people over not being available 24/7 to remove it from every inch of city property that within 50 ft of them, they should consider a move South. </DIV></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>People, it snows, don't like it, complain to God. If someone, or a business is being really neglectful in snow and ice removal, ask them nicely to fix it, if they don't, write a letter to the editor to complain. </DIV></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>Except for disabled parking in government and private businesses, people should just realize it snows, and if you are unsure footed like me, you are probably going to fall.
