The complaint is the threat of punishment or fines for non-compliance.
What happens if you are stranded at an airport? Hospitalized? And how do you contact all those charitable organizations if you are new to the community???
Why are some citizens forced to clear sidewalks or pay to have it done and others are not. How is that legal?
Property taxes should cover costs of a County clean-up.
In Howard and Montgomery County, the law is you must clear the sidewalks within a limited period of time after a snow storm. Each county has different time periods for the removal. If, for example, a person is on a trip when the snow storm occurs, they have to have sub-contracted with a snow removal service or have a contract with someone to remove the snow. What annoys me about this is the county will demand it BUT the county doesn’t remove snow obstructing the walk to bus stops. About ten years ago, our neighborhood’s civic association tried to get sidewalks installed. Many of the residents fought the sidewalk initiative for this very reason (and won). “How is that legal?” Answer: It’s Maryland. The greater good, don’t you know.
Anyone living in or owning property in areas that get snow knows the drill.
