Although the streets and roads are clear, December's record snowfall is still causing major problems for pedestrians. Many of the sidewalks are covered with snow and virtually impassable. This presents serious problems for adults, as well as children who need to get to bus stops to catch their only means of transportation. Postal workers are also having a difficult time navigating the sidewalks while trying to make their mail deliveries. Unshoveled sidewalks are forcing people to walk in the streets where it can be dangerous.
Most communities have ordinances that require property owners to keep their walks clear.
According to The Flint Journal, several Flint City officials feel the uncleared walkways are a concern. People are required to clear their walks, and with all the snow it's hard to deal with. Uncleared sidewalks aren't just a problem in Flint. Drive around any of Genesee County's communities and you will find many sidewalks that haven't been cleared and pose a real risk to pedestrians.
