Description
The sidewalk plow continues to deposit, rather than remove, snow at our address at the end of Bilodeau Court. At best, if the driver decides to turn early, the snow simply doesn't get removed. Most of the time, though, snow is actually deposited at the location.
It seams to reason that if this section of pavement is not to be considered a sidewalk for the purposes of snow removal, it should not be considered a sidewalk any other time of the year. Parking tickets claiming it to be a sidewalk stand against such reason. Please respond with how I am actually to consider this section of concrete and what my expectations should be for snow removal or, at the very least, the cessation of snow deposits.
Of course, this could all be remedied by taking up previous suggestions of removing the concrete all together and creating an area that would allow for the soaking up of snow melt and rain that otherwise accumulates to dangerous levels at the base of the preceding two driveways.
I tire of this perennial suggestion and inconsistency.

Can we agree that it is silly for me to expect snow removal from this area? That I shouldn't expect this section of concrete to be treated as a sidewalk for the purposes of snow removal? I'm happy to concede this if I can simply get somebody to acknowledge that it is equally silly to have this section of concrete be treated as a sidewalk at any other time of the year. Can we get to that point of agreement?
And, again, let's have a conversation about removing it all together and creating more drainage/water collection/green space. Is that on the table?
Why can't I get an answer to this question or a response for continued dialogue? I'm serious about finding a solution. This, along with last year's concern is simply being ignored. Please let me know the best person to discuss this with.
Simply keeping these as "acknowledged" seems comically avoidant.
