Seems like an easy way to help fix this would be to require a snow blower or have the city do it. Or at the very least something in place to make it easier for someone at risk to not have to do the work themselves.
Or butt garages up to the street so there's no driveway to speak of. Oh no, now I also don't have a front lawn to mow. How will I ever get over such a loss.
The town I lived in you were responsible for shoveling and the overall condition of the sidewalk. It was something like $200 fine for not shoveling. I imagine there are probably many cities with similar laws.
Yeah, but the sidewalkâs like 1/10 the work of the driveway, if that. Heavier the snow the bigger the difference, too, since you have to move the snow so far from the middle to reach the side of the driveway.
