Sidewalk Snow Removal

Snow removal is a fact of life in Syracuse.... for most of us. However, there are a LOT of properties that don't clean their sidewalks. This is dangerous, as people often have to walk in the street. This is ESPECIALLY dangerous when it's around schools / universities and CHILDREN have to walk in the street. However, I just heard about this:

Westcott Area Sidewalk Snow Removal Pilot Project: there are only a few days left for residents of target blocks to send in their registration and payment.

• • The purpose of this project is to guarantee safe routes to schools: Levy, Ed Smith, SU campus, ESF, SUNY Upstate

So if you live on one of these target blocks, please please please sign up! Even if you are a student, sign up and do the right thing by your neighborhood and your friends! Unless, you know.... you enjoy walking in the snow or the street.
