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.

Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

Kids are way too addicted to their phones and it is affecting their learning. Phones could be kept in a basket in the classroom in case of emergency, but definitely NOT with the kid.

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?

Given the recent wildfires near Redmond, would you support a personal fireworks ban?
