First time trying this. Hopefully it works. This is from the city's website.

Chapter 262 Article 1 subsection 262-16.A.

"Plowing and throwing snow and ice into the street. No person shall plow, throw, put or cause to be thrown or put any snow or ice from any private property or from any area in the rear of said private property or in the area between a private dwelling house or structure and the legally laid out sidewalk into any public highway in the City."

And Dave, knowing the area, yeah they have plenty of space on either side of the driveway to throw their snow whichever house around the marker it is. I don't really think it's necessary to complain after the little amount of snow we got but it is technically illegal.

So is not cleaning snow off of the sidewalk in front of your house. There's a lot of violators to that policy in this city too. While looking up the code from the previous post I also read I found something interesting. If you don't clean your sidewalk after a storm you are personally liable for any injury caused by a person falling and getting hurt. that's 262-18.D. There's also a potential for a $50 fine although I'd be much more worried about the possible lawsuits. We live in a super litigious society.

Speeding well over the speed limit of 25 is a daily occurrence and much more dangerous and thoughtless to residents than a clump of soggy snow.

yeah I am very familiar with the snow removal (sidewalks) ordinance. It is also a parallel problem to the parking ban. Which is never or I have never seen it visibly enforced.I personally know of several northend properties which never All year long ever remove snow from their sidewalks as well as cars which are never ticketed to towed during so called parking bans. It is a Joke its not enforced and I think that the mayor and cities administration must just announce the ban to make themselves feel that they have donew their part in making the announcement. Although enforcement never occurs Just drive around the northend following a good sizable snowstorm and take note of the cars which remain on the street as well as the various sidewalks which never reciever any snow removal.

It's just like the court system, if anything, they get a slap on the hand & will do it again.

Yeah, it was a very small amount of snow, so if he does it now, i'm sure he's doing it in the bigger storms. This could cause an accident & also, If I'm paying taxes to have the streets plowed, I certainly don't want some inconsiderate fool wasting my hard-earned dollars.

That's actually a great point mdtwngrl that I hadn't thought of. If, when we only get one inch of snow like last week, this resident will throw snow into the road then they certainly will if we get 10 inches too.

Who cares, this is not an opinion board.

The City of Middletown will officially launch SeeClickFix in October 2016. As we ramp up with this partnership, the City is offering a limited number of reportable issue types and we ask that residents submit only the issues listed through SeeClickFix. Other issues not listed through SeeClickFix can be reported by calling the appropriate City Department. If the issue you originally reported has not yet been resolved and is listed through the selectable Issues, please consider submitting a new report through the SeeClickFix system and we’ll be happy to address your concern at that time. Thanks and the City is excited about this new partnership to continue improving Middletown.
