Description
When is the town going to start issuing tickets to people who did not clear their sidewalks or areas where there is a bus stop? We have an individual who paid some teenagers to clear his front walkway but not his sidewalk or the corner where the bus stop is for all Ansonia schools. The kids have the choice of standing in the road or on a thick sheet of ice. Also they have to walk in the road to get to the cleared sidewalk which is still icy. Numerous complaints have been made to the PD but nothing has been done. An officer actually told a neighbor that she should just drive her kid to school. It just burns up the rest of us who were out there for days shoveling while some people feel entitled to just not do anything. This is on the corner of Woodbridge Avenue and Merritt Street.

the snow storm was 13 days ago. This individual didn't move one flake.
And as far as living on a fixed income - so is everyone else. Another EXCUSE. Have my bills gone down? No. Families are paying 200% more in living expenses than we were even 10 years ago. I am sick and tired of you can't pay more for education, etc while the rest of us are footing the bill and killing ourselves to make ends meet. You at least have a fixed income coming in, how many people don't? I have no empathy or patience any more; I"m sure there are lots of YOUNG families who had the same issue and took care of it. Maybe if you were a little nicer someone would volunteer.

I totally agree with the complaint. Many examples exist of people not clearing their sidewalks and then schoolchildren walking in the road. Not just children either. I almost got hit by a car a few weeks ago walking in the road with absolutely nowhere to jump out of the way of an inattentive driver. I guess pedestrians are a quaint relic of the past, with zero rights or courtesies due.
Police should enforce the ordinances requiring residents to clear the snow from the sidewalks in front of their houses. The laziness starts with the homeowners and, apparently, extends to the police who don't bother addressing this very dangerous situation.
