Description

Residents at 85 Gore St have planters on the public sidewalks outside of their ground level windows. Most of them are not causing a problem, except where one is placed between the house and a street tree, narrowing the passable sidewalk to less than is ADA compliant. Piles of winter snow further exacerbate the problem for Helen, who is legally blind.

At the very least, the City could work with the owners to move one of the planters so that it doesn’t cause a pinch point during the winter, or even year round.
