Thank You !!! It would also be nice if people would "SALT' their sidewalks too ..... when my kids walk home from school (Hawthorne) they have had to walk on the road more than once for risk of falling and cracking their skull open from the icy sidewalks (yes they have fallen) !!

Dog crap - well I just did mine in the back yard. Geez ... for a little dog (a Westie) she sure has a lot of s**t !!

I put a sign up stating.

"Use at your own risk, sidewalk will not be cleared or saltled by homeowner"

After numerous complainted to parking enforcement about cars overhanging sidewalks and the road.

I just figured whats the point in shovelling it since down the street cars (almost every driveway) is blocking or obstructing the sidewalk.

Stupid people have more cars then driveway room.

Too bad, so sad... don't buy cars if you don't have a place to put them.

To the charming person who let their dog crap not only on our walkway to the house but on our porch during the day today, I hope you get what's coming to you.

The sign remark was sarcastic, but thats sometimes hard to convey on here.

The parking on the sidewalk is definitely a huge issue.

Speaking with parking enforcement today, they told me there's poeple that come in and pay $2000 fines in total that they accumulate over the course of a year. Don't people have better things to do with $2000 then give it away to parking enforcement? LOL

Sorry to hear about the sh*t on your porch lol I don't mean to laugh, but that takes balls to let your dog do that on someone's porch lol

The same sh*t happens to me. I don't know if its dog crap or cat crap. Cause I do see the cat hang around my garden and it smells like cat piss. But we usually end up with a surprise on our porch or lawn. If I ever see the dog or cat on my lawn, Imma let my dog loose. He won't bite them, he's not agressive that way, but I'm sure he'll scare them off the yard.

The same sh*t happens to me. I don't know if its dog crap or cat crap. I can't wait to catch that thing in the act. A nice swift kick will fix that! I'm kidding.

Can't someone take you to court should they get hurt walking on the part you were responsible for shoveling? I believe I heard this somewhere. If making sure no one gets injured isn't enough motivation to shovel the sidewalk than maybe a potential lawsuit would be. Just something to think about.

I have drainage issues between my driveway and the neighbours' - this is where everything melts, the groundwater drains, and it all refreezes on the sidewalk, leaving a dangerous ice patch there all the time. I'm out there every day cleaning it up, but it keeps accumulating and refreezing aytime when the weather is between 0 and -10 or so.
Salt does no good as the melted ice just refreezes in the same place. I apologize to my neighbours and dog walkers who may occasionally have to walk across it - PaulPEng.. could you make me one of your snappy signs?
CovCanuck.. I'm glad that was on Monday, not Sunday! Sorry to hear you got stuck with that cleanup. Some people are so disrespectful.

Oh, Fred, that reminds me! Tip for anyone who, like us, is in a semi with a stupid design of the downspout opening on the side of the driveway between your driver's door and your walkway - after our first winter of a freeze/thaw cycle emptying a ton of water down the side of the driveway, which then froze into an impressive ice slick that you stepped on getting in or out of the car, we went to Home Depot and bought one of those flexible tubes that allows you to redirect water from downspouts. We put it into a flower bed under our bay window - doesn't look awesome, but it means that we haven't had to grab for the car while our legs go in two different directions.

I've heard that if you spray SOL-U-MEL on snow, it shovels itself...

I've heard the same about melaleuca.

lol
