My city has an ordinance requiring home owners to remove
snow from sidewalks within 24 hours after snowfall – including corner properties. Many of my neighbors do shovel in
front of their homes, but the ones who live on corners never think to clear the walks along the sides of their properties.
So most of the winter pedestrians must choose between icy walkways or the
middle of the road. As I see it, I have three choices: One, pester my
neighbors, my HOA or the city until the situation improves. Do I really want to
be THAT neighbor? Two, wait until someone else decides to become THAT neighbor,
or until my neighbors recognize and solve the problem on their own. (I’ve been
doing that for years, and the situation is actually getting worse.) Three, buy
a nice snowblower and take care of it myself. That third choice is beginning to
grow on me. Care to donate to my snowblower fund?
