Description

Many residential alleys in the City of Thorp have not been plowed all weekend!!! For some with large trucks, this may not be problem, but for others like myself, who drive cars, it is impossible to get out! I am delayed in getting to work until my alley is passable. Residents are penalized when sidewalks aren't cleared, so can I send my bill for lost wages to the City? Residential alley ways are CITY STREETS, and are therefore the responsibility of the City to keep clear/safe. Failure to clear them not only traps people who have their garages to the back of their house with only alley access, but also prevents emergency vehicle access, which is dangerous especially in winter weather conditions such as those we had over the weekend. This has been going on all winter, and is dereliction of duty on the part of the City of Thorp.
