New Yorkers frustrated by sidewalks that weren't shoveled

[@siebergirl23]

Was thinking about this yesterday. Even business and home owners use to shovel snow but no one cares about anything anymore. It’s sad

[@mariaGonzalez-le4lh]

This is so true!

[@ImprovementisGrowth]

until you fall and sue them!!!!

[@mattmoschkau84]

Lived in NY for years. It was always the owner/residents responsibility to make sure sidewalks were shoveled and fire hydrants cleared. The only exception was sidewalks around parks or other government property. I can still remember getting up early because the sidewalks had to be clear by 10am.

[@janicesanders9981]

With so fewer people on the streets now the streets should be cleaner

[@rondaswindell7130]

Yet in front of our property, the sidewalk belongs to the city!!!! New york sucks!!!!!

[@ariesarethebest271]

Exactly. Get out while you can.

[@MariaD-qf4sr]

The city always slacks in the Bronx this time wouldn’t be any different the trash is pulling up yet they say they only doing snow lol but the snow isn’t being moved? That’s nyc for you, deblasip made it toxic here.

[@calvinfan6330]

Bronx always been the jungle. Deblasio is awful but he didnt make the bronx the bronx

[@crodriguez2093]

It's like this in Brooklyn too. It's not just the bronx.

[@413smr]

I love the snow and winter but now that I'm older and with knee arthritis, it's not only miserable walking in the snow, its painful!

[@Reconseal4050]

MTA is worst when it comes to not shoveling! Yet they love our money!🤔

[@bblack6868]

Here’s a thought ........instead of only using the sanitation trucks to clear the roads only ....use the teens throughout the boroughs as day laborers in their own communities. We need wisdom in dealing with issues......seriously.

[@thetruthhurts599]

Wonderful idea this will teach them responsibility and give them a chance to earn a little cash. The city is too cheap.

[@bblack6868]

@@thetruthhurts599 .......but that’s what defunding is all about.......taking the funds from bloated ineffective departments and using it in useful programs that truly benefits the people and neighborhoods. BTW.....you’ll be shock to see the kind of overtime the Sanitation department runs up during these times......obscene.

[@MrEarthboundKing]

the city blames the property owners but it’s always the city and mta that doesn’t shovel their own properties 😤

[@JC-zo1mj]

I know it sounds wrong, but i think the newscaster was aching for someone to fall, for that extra " you see, this is what we are talking about, its getting dangerous!"...

[@clarkclarke]

I hope not .... falling due to ice is not a good thing ... especially for the person who falls ....

[@recklessralphfromqueens8383]

I’m pretty sure there are rules already in the books. But in NYC we believe in reinventing the wheel by adding new laws to not be obeyed instead of enforcing ones already set and we firmly support leaders who’re always exempt from complying with laws they pass, making the experience of living here second-to-none.

[@juans3728]

There is no excuse, in Staten Island there are certain homes that have not attempted to shovel and these are corner homes that have front and side to cleanup and they don't I hope they know if someone slips and gets very hurt they will own your home , bus stops also not cleared for riders. what the hell is going on? As for MTA stations that are situated on city parks this should have been brought up long ago. The understanding is city parks are responsible.

[@blackman9008]

seems small but the cracks in the empire are getting bigger

[@wanderlustandsparkle4395]

When I was growing up on the news you would see people come out to shovel it now all you see/hear is people complaining smh at you current New Yorkers!

[@migloz2898]

It’s always the city that doesn’t follow their own laws.

[@dawgfacegremlin3836]

Like NY doesn't have bigger problems to worry about.than an un-shoveled side walk.

[@Nfl_fan_12]

I know right it's snow it's not a fucking nuke going off

[@robdee4051]

Everybody loves to say "they", "they need to clean it up!!!" What if everybody did a little and then "they" would be able to get to you quicker!!! Salt is dollar per pound, calcium chloride is dollar pound! If everybody spread pound of something in front of them, this would have even an issue!!! Same thing with litter on the sidewalk, "they have to keep it up!" "City needs to clean it up" guess what genius, you are the city!!!

[@sashal6593]

New Yorkers if you fall. Take photos and video proof. Stay down on the floor. Call 911 and get that money $$$🤞👏🏽💃😎

[@wmd40]

Welcome to life in upstate. They plow the snow from the streets into the sidewalks and expect homeowners to shovel it. Nobody does it. 3-4 feet of snow where you're supposed to walk and you'll get bitched at or hit by a car if you walk in the street. The government just needs to do it

[@xtrey19x]

Clearing snow is part of the responsibility of being a homeowner in the North East. If everyone chips in we can be fine, but with your attitude of let the government do it is why nothing will get done. If you want the government to do it then I hope your ready for higher taxes to pay for all of this snow removal

[@quintart1327]

USA: oh so much snow we stuck here Russia: hold my vodka

[@90loneeagle]

Same issues in Yonkers, we get discounted BIG yonkers taxes on our pay for what!????

Shameful. I was born in Yonkers as was all my moms family. No one lives there any longer. Cops, Firemen, nurses & teachers all moved out of the city.

[@eggssunnysideup1301]

I remember, losing a Friend because he was buried by Snow..If, they just Shoveled by "Chicken Wing Express" he would have been found and alive today!!!...They, eventually found him, because of a "Plastic Straw" that was sticking out of Snow bank.!!....He, was drinking a 7 up right before the Snow Avalanche Struck him!!!...This, is why!...

Cant they make some small verhicle that swipes away the snow on the side walks.

[@rodellwilliams871]

I totally agree and at the entrance of the sidewalk why don't it ever be clean up

[@adamsanchez1805]

Fort Hamilton station D line lazy mta didn't shovel the rear entrance just 20ft of ice by the stairs so if someone slips and falls they can sue and it'll be on camera too

[@nitdapribula5026]

[@terryedwards171]

The city is taking application of help in shoveling the snow; call 311.

[@marcaliventialiventi765]

Yeah, good luck with that. You will not get paid till may or June if you're lucky

[@jansa940]

this happens every winter, not just in NYC but all cities. there is so much talk about progress and technology, sending a Tesla car to outer space, green energy. blah blah, but we still have the same low level issues that nobody comes up with better solutions for. But nobody cares about the older woman with the artificial hip replacement because it doesn't affect them directly... that has to be scary walking along and so worried that next step can be really injured permanently.

@@vitalybroshchak4512 Honestly, it doesn’t matter who Is in the office, especially in low-income neighborhoods. You are right; why put money where it’s not going to help everyone.

But isn't that what you should expect guys I know it's crazy but there is something called ice and snow if you want to go somewhere just drive if you are not able to walk on it or just stay home if you didn't prepare for it and also isn't the sidewalks belong to the city and businesses not the home owners sidewalks
