Yes and the city should look for the ones not clearing the walkways not just wait for complaints.

Contractors hired by the city plow all kinds of snow/ice onto our sidewalk, ruining my efforts to keep it clean. In situations where the city works against homeowners, there should be no fine.

There are very valid reasons some people don't clear their walkways.

This is a hard one for me to find a good answer due to my advocacy for disability issues. I am afraid $200 fines would be routinely waived by municipal judges. $125 might not be waived.

I know of a couple people that can't clear their side walks while using their walkers or canes. Maybe if people would not charge so much.

That is crazy high!! I could see maybe $25/day, but $200 is beyond most folks' reach when clearing may not be possible after such heavy snows. Folks walk in the street in n'hoods even w/cleared walks.

We are not young, but manage to keep the sidewalk clear - until the grader piles it with 3-4 feet of ice. No way can we clear it now!

Should be no fine at all. I believe the sidewalks belong to the city. Let them clean it up. Private walkways are a different matter, however, I seriously doubt the owner does not clean them up.

Will the same fine be applied to the city? I can walk downtown and most homes and businesses are clear except the bridge sidewalk.

Until the city stops plowing street snow on to sidewalks, there should not be fines.

Mayor Fitz has already indicated there’s a water issue so why are we bringing a huge business into Redmond without a resolution first? There’s also a huge traffic consideration that needs to be addressed.

More stable high paying jobs would be wonderful, especially for our younger generation looking to start a career in the area that's not in the medical or educational fields. The added bonus is faster delivery!! Looking forward to it.

You can grow or you can die. If parents want their children to grow up and to live here we need growth to do that. Good jobs! Next we need to get the cost of housing here down so people who grow up here can afford to buy homes here!

Amazon jobs are not good jobs. For example, they make their employees pee in plastic bottles...

I love that it will bring more jobs, and no longer waiting 1-2 weeks for delivery
