81, 83, 85, 87 North Broadway. You know, that vaguely charming walk up (no elevators) condominium with laundry in the cellar. Yes, that one.
Yesterday, the day after the big snow storm, starting about noon I walked down Barker Avenue to the train station and back up to North Broadway, then north almost to Interstate 287. That's a small sample of downtown sidewalks that should have had the snow cleared. Many had done so. Here are some that did not:
- Cadillac car dealership (15 Water Street): an long time offender, now even after an exchange of email messages last winter with the manager, who obviously, is oblivious. And why not? There is no indication that the City of White Plains enforces its own regulations.
- Presbyterian Church at the corner of Barker and North Broadway. Some snow removed but a significant layer always remains along its significantly long sidewalk.
YWCA: corner left a mess.
- Chateau condo North Broadway: ZERO snow flakes removed. WORST OFFENDER. Its half circle of a driveway had much of the snow removed but the sidewalk, not a flake was disturbed.
- Pinehollow condo: adjacent to the Chateau: bad job.
- 89 North Broadway condo: hardly touched.
- Vibes (Delaurentis Management) new modular rental: weirdest. One side of the center driveway not cleared at all but the other side cleared completely.
Co-ops Village Green and Longacre Gardens left most of the snow intact.
There were other offenders but I cannot recall all. As asked in previous posts: does the city ever enforce its own regulations? The question is rhetorical. The answer obvious: Common Council members do not live downtown in apartments and therefor do not give a damn. They only care about snow being removed from the streets, so that they and their natural constituents can drive downtown, which exists for their convenience and amusement.
