Snow in Toledo Ohio hinders pedestrians	Feb 20th, 2007 2:01:29 pm - Subscribe
The Toledo Blade reported on this mess; http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070220/NEWS17/702200346 The article does a great job documenting the problem and the Police Department does a great job showing why the problem continues; "Police are in charge of ticketing residents and business owners who fail to clear their sidewalks. While police have the authority to write the $150 tickets, snowy sidewalks are not necessarily a priority, said police Deputy Chief Ron Spann, who is in charge of operations." Nope not a priority, sure, can we as citizens claim that also when and if we get ticketed?

"Snow hinders pedestrians Sidewalk owners ignoring 24-hour clearing rule" And the city is also ignoring the problem by not enforcing the rules. Ah ah ah, Mr. Welch not so quick; "The city of Toledo is responsible for its own sidewalks. The Division of Streets, Bridges, and Harbor takes care of providing "safe school routes" and clearing sidewalks on bridges, said David Welch, the department's director." The city sidewalk, and that includes a bridge and I saw two people who had to walk in the street as the sidewalk on the bridge is not cleared, all the way from N. Detroit to Phillips is not cleared and that includes the bus stop that is buried and I have them all documented and reported to the neighborhoods department and they are here: http://www.aeonity.com/neighbor
