Snow removal, or lack thereof, debated by council

Описание: This winter, Mother Nature has dumped piles and piles of snow onto the Ohio Valley. So much so that officials say those piles could create hazardous conditions on local sidewalks.

"We've got a lot of seniors out there, a lot of elderly out there,” one resident said. “It's an accident waiting to happen.”

Safety was a point of discussion on Tuesday as 4th Ward Councilman Royal Mayo expressed concern about the conditions of city sidewalks.

"Snowplows have pushed the snow up onto the sidewalks, and even with a shovel, it's hardened so you can't remove it,” Mayo said. “So, we have to come up with a system or someone's going to get hurt."
