[blparent] Off-topic sidewalks I can't get through because of snow.

[Julie J.]

Does your city have an ordinance about shoveling the sidewalks?  Here the 
sidewalk has to be shoveled by 9 a.m. the day after it stops snowing or the 
home owner/resident can receive a fine.  The city police would be the agency 
to report violations.

Good luck!

Subject: [blparent] Off-topic sidewalks I can't get through because of snow.

Hi all, I am writing with a question that might or might not be off topic. 
The sidewalks from my house are so badly blocked with snow that I would need 
to walk into the street to get to public transportation.this concerns me 
because I have my 16-month-old daughter that I carry on my back and I don't 
really like the idea of walking out into the street with her.have you guys 
had any luck resolving this issue? I have tried the city manager who 
complains about how annoying the businesses are and then has his guys shovel 
it a couple times a year I have tried the mayors office who tells me to use 
Paratransittransportation.  I do not like this idea because you can wait for 
up to 30 minutes in the cold waiting for your ride. It would take me less 
time to walk to transportation than that. Addition, it's four dollars a ride 
and I don't want to spend that money. The other problem I have with it is 
you have to schedule it the day before. I feel I have a right to leave my 
house and take transportation when I want to. Not when you Teays paratransit 
says I can.I have now tried the disability Law Center who says they'll get 
back to you in a couple days.anyway, any help or suggestions of what you 
guys have done on this particular issue that has worked would be great!
Thanks
Tara
