Yes, could go higher
No, should be lower
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.

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.

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.

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