[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe a neighbor is out of town, or is sick, dealing with cancer, doesn't have a shovel to chop the ice, or elderly (Principal admits it's a sheet of ice), etc. The comment "chose" heavily implies that the neighbors had a choice to clear but didn't because they don't feel like it. [/quote]

Our neighbor chose to shovel his driveway but not the sidewalk that houses the bus stop.  It was a choice.  It’s ok to acknowledge that some people are a%*holes. [/quote]

THIS! There isnt a single house with the sidewalks not shoveled that also doesnt have a driveway shoveled. Not a single one. [/quote]

Probably because those people need their driveway and don’t need their sidewalk. It’s not realistic to rely on residents for this. You can say how it should be all you want but it’s just not realistic.[/quote]

I chose not to shovel my sidewalk and my neighbors did the same.  Everyone is just walking on top of the snow without issue.  We don't need sidewalks cleared.

What I also chose to do last night was submit a complaint with VDOT about the entrance to my neighborhood because there's no way a school bus could turn right without the merge lane being plowed.  Right now the plow tracker shows a VDOT plow at that same spot I complained about.

We need to submit targeted complaints about the issues in our own neighborhoods so VDOT can prioritize it.  There are a lot of plows in the southern part of the state right now and not very many in NOVA.  Get online and tell them what's preventing the buses from getting into your respective neighborhoods.[/quote]
