how nice!
Check the candidate survey he filed with this website during the primary campaign. I think you’ve got to give Taveras ‘scoreboard’ on this. Has any other mayor supported sidewalk clearing like this?
I hope he squeezes the DOT to clear the sidewalks on the highway overpasses and underpasses. Per regulation.
The candidates survey is here. And this is what now Mayor Taveras said about snow removal as a candidate:
We’re now plenty past the snow and there are plenty of sidewalks untouched. Is there a city contact at dpw that we can report for not clearing the sidewalk?
You can report unshoveled sidewalks to the Office of Neighborhood Services via this webform. Or call 401-421-7768 between 8:30am and 4:30pm.
I’m glad to see this taken seriously by everyone, not just officials (though it’s seriously important for them too). It used to bother me as a kid walking to school or anywhere that I had to walk in the street, it feels very second rate. As an adult, I’m sure many would rightfully not want to bother with that feeling and just drive to wherever they need to during the snow interim. Unfortunately, it puts a hurt on neighborhood businesses financially and on participation civiclly when we go elsewhere.
