Comments on: Sidewalks of Shame – An Analysis http://georgetownmetropolitan.com/2010/02/09/sidewalks-of-shame-an-analysis/ News, Information, and Events for the Georgetown Community Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:38:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: CambridgePLACE http://georgetownmetropolitan.com/2010/02/09/sidewalks-of-shame-an-analysis/#comment-1957 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 05:20:11 +0000 http://georgetownmetropolitan.com/?p=4853#comment-1957 I also noticed that corner lots seemed to be the biggest violaters. I do appreciate the ones that not only shovel their sidewalks but clear a path to the street.

The little development off P between 30 and 31st actually BLOCKED the P Street sidewalk (north side) with a wall of snow where they had cleared their street. You had to walk walk over the snow to get off the sidewalk, then walk in the street and back over the snow to get off back on the sidewalk.

I also agree that the BID should do more to make sure the businesses are getting their sidewalks shoveled.

I’ll take photos later but am calling now.

From experience those who have lived here awhile know that our part of the village never, EVER gets plowed or even looked at by the city.
