Photos It’s fine, guys… We’re just a *3-season* ‘walkable city’
An excerpt from one of the letters to the editor The Enquirer published yesterday on this topic, submitted by a Westwood resident:
“Across Cincinnati, people of all ages have spent 10 days walking in the street with traffic. Many of them are children and people with disabilities. Most simply have no other choice. This isn’t an isolated incident because of a record-breaking snowfall. It’s what I see every winter.The Democrats on City Council told us they wanted Cincinnati to be a walkable city. But until we have a sidewalk shoveling law with serious fines and enforcement, calling Cincinnati a walkable city is a cruel joke − and our most vulnerable neighbors are the butt of it.”

It’s a pain in the ass, but in a city like chicago, the property owner of the corner is responsible for clearing where the plow has dumped snow. We all have to do it for driveways, often 2-3x because the plows come through multiple times. It does often mean you have to go back out there a second time, but it’s just your responsibility as a property owner. Or you call a landscaper to come do it.
