Description
Maybe now that all the snow and ice is gone (thanks mother nature!), the bowling alley will install some ice breakers on the roof and some gutters on the building so the sidewalk doesn't ice up again next year. Winter or not... the building should have gutters anyway. You can't just let the water pour off your roof onto a sidewalk. Code enforcement should be all over them in enforcing this. Ride by and have a look at the building Troy Code people. You'll see a long building with a couple broken pieces of gutter and no down spouts. Get the bowling alley owners to become code compliant so we don't have issues again next winter.

CLOSING A SIDEWALK EVERY SINGLE WINTER BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO LAZY OR CHEAP TO MAINTAIN YOUR BUILDING IS WRONG.
Forcing people to walk in the street is wrong.
Go look at the gutters on the street side of that building. They're a mess. There are many city codes that address the exact situations the bowling alley is creating with its faulty gutters.
Seriously, how difficult and/or expensive would it be to put up a new gutter the entire length of the building and then string electical "heat tape" on the lower 1 or 2 foot section of roof?
The heat tape will melt the ice & snow and the new gutter will carry the water into the drains where it's supposed to go.
PROBLEM SOLVED for a few hundred bucks and maybe 1/2 a day of labor.
But no... the bowling alley would rather close off the sidewalk and make people walk in the street year after year.

The bowling alley on 6th ave. The one with the missing & non functional gutters where the water, snow and ice from the roof dumps directly on the sidewalk.
Ride by and have a look. Can't miss it.
