But there are plenty of places that aren't fringe where people, including kids, walk frequently and they need to be cleared. The ordinance is necessary for them. This season the owners of 1 North Main, for example, never cleared the sidewalk at the corner of Main and Evans. And with the mountain of snow shoveled up along the road there it was impossible to walk over, so people had to walk well into the icy street as traffic drove by, for weeks. Shadow Oaks was bad too, and people walk there often. In fact, where are these "fringe" neighborhoods with sidewalks? Most of the fringe areas don't have sidewalks. I know plenty of people who walk and run through Silvers, Shadow Oaks, Cranbury Green, Wynnewood, etc. Where are these places with sidewalks no one uses? <br /> <br />This isn’t a phantom issue, which is why a vast majority of other Townships already have ordinances. We’re the exception. I guess a few lazy people really want to resist work at the expense of public safety.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu, Mar 10 2011, 3:47 pm EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: another snow job proposal - please -not again</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Do you have a bus stop?

It's ridiculous that we don't require it like almost everywhere else. There's really no good excuse for people not being willing to keep their sidewalks clear, unless they are disabled. <br /> <br />And to those at the meeting who apparently said the reason not to require it is you'd have to do so consistently everywhere, so what? That's how it works most places. If you have an easement with a public sidewalk on your property, keeping it free of snow comes with the territory. Deal with it, like everyone else does. And if you really live where no one else ever walks, as a practical matter no one would ever complain and the local PD wouldn't enforce it. If someone complains, then I guess you were wrong about no one walking there and you should be shoveling it. Simple. The excuses against it are just bogus.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri, Mar 4 2011, 9:14 pm EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: another snow job proposal - please -not again</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">After walking our streets after the storms this winter I wonder how we could be one of the few towns without an ordinance.
