Shovel, or pay up

Our esteemed mayor is always complaining about not having enough money. Does he realize how much money he is losing out on? Does he know that it is against the law not to shovel the snow off residential sidewalks? I walk on Wightman Street in Squirrel Hill, from Bartlett Street to Beacon Street, and the majority of the sidewalks are not shoveled.

Do any of these lazy homeowners realize that they can be sued if someone falls? I am sure there are many more neighborhoods like mine.

It is time that the city takes action against these homeowners. Mr. Mayor, earn some money for the city and help prevent someone from falling. I am a senior citizen and I pay someone to shovel my walk.
