UPDATE: An Accident Waiting to Happen!

\"Playground

NOTE: Happy to report today, Friday, the Gloucester City Highway Department removed the snow from the sidewalks shown above. They also made an effort to remove some of the snow from the sidewalks surrounding Martins Lake.

The City of Gloucester City is responsible for clearing the snow from the sidewalks that surround City playgrounds. The photo taken today shows the sidewalks at the Lane and Thompson Avenue playground is still unsafe to walk on. What was once just powder snow is now a sheet of ice. This intersection is used by children as a school bus stop. The children are forced to walk in the street since the City\’s sidewalk is too slippery.

\"Playground Likewise with the sidewalks that surround Martin Lake playground located at Baynes and Johnson Blvd. Also used by kids going back and forth to the high school.

The City ordinance requires residents and business owners to remove snow from in front of their property 24 hours after the snow stops falling. Why doesn\’t that same law pertain to our local government?

A sprinkle of salt and some sand and a few strong men with shovels could clear these two sidewalks at Lane and Thompson in 30 minutes or less. The Martin Lake area may take longer since it is surrounded by five streets. 

I don\’t understand why maintaining the sidewalks around park and playgrounds after a snow storm is such a problem each year in Gloucester City. Other communities do it why can\’t the City of Gloucester City.
