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

[Rob Kaiser]

If there are businesses near you, &, if their driveways are filled with
snow, you might want to get in touch with those businesses & let them know
that you can't get through because their walks are filled with snow. 

Also, you might think about getting the press involved. A lot of TV stations
have people who investigate problems such as the 1 you are dealing with.
What city do you live in? 

Good luck to you.

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
