I call and report these people to the county(MoCo).

I'm a runner and my various routes take me anywhere from 3 to 7 miles and after it has snows a few times, you get to know who the deadbeats are - it's always the same people.

I give them 48 hours to get it done and then my criteria are this: if the sidewalks leading to their house and/or their driveways are shoveled but the sidewalk in front or the side of their house is not, they get reported.

Did a 6 mile run today and have a list of 20 or so down county houses - we'll see where things are Tuesday morning.

You want people to clear a path for your hobby or you will call the police? You are an entitled loser.[/quote]

It's not police, it's code enforcement.  They typically give warnings and from what I've seen, people comply; it would only be in extreme cases where someone ignores multiple times where there would be an actual fine.

[b]This is not for me - it's for the elderly, the disabled, the kids walking to school and the people trying to push a stroller. [/b] In the warmer months, I also report the people who pull their cars partly into their driveways(usually trying to cram multiple cars) that are then blocking the sidewalk.  Again, same reason as above - not for me in particular it's for the good of all pedestrians.  On my runs, I get to know who these habitual abusers are and I report them as well.

Good for you! I recall the last time we had significant snow, the non-shoveled parts of the sidewalk became treacherous ice and my daughter had to walk through it to middle school and fell multiple times (wearing proper boots!). It hadn't occurred to us that it would be so bad since my street is generally well shoveled since we are considerate people. After that we had to drive her to school until it melted.

This is in Arlington where it is the code. I'll be more proactive in future about writing down house numbers and reporting them.[/quote]
