MAP: Where are Newton's Uncleared Sidewalks?
Help us pinpoint some of the places in Newton that are still in need of snow removal.
The roadways may be clear, but the Blizzard of 2013 snow removal efforts are carrying on here in Newton.
According to the city's trial snow shoveling ordinance, property owners must clear sidewalks in front of their homes within 30 hours of a storm. Fines are not currently issued, but homeowners may receive notices of non-compliance from the city.
Have you noticed an unshoveled sidewalk in your neighborhood or a local parking lot that might still need some plowing?
Have you seen people waiting in the street at a local bus stop?
Write the street name where you saw the problem in the comments section below and we will add a pin to the interactive map above.
Let's see if we can help pinpoint some problem areas.
Remember, complaints about uncleared sidewalks can be called in to the Newton City Hall customer service line: 617-796-1000 or filed online through the city's 311 system.

The entire cemetery sidewalk area on North Street (borderline of Waltham). And as of today at lunchtime, Fiorella's on North Street has not shoveled their sidewalks; only their entrance.

Give me a break with this much snow how do you expect homeowners to clear there sidewalks especially were the plows made mounds on corners of the street. This is the most ridiculous expectation with this size snow storm. Where is the city sidewalk plow that use to go down one side of the sidewalks? The public parking lot here in Nonantum behind Silver Lake Liquor store did not get plowed out till Wednesday. Five days after the storm!

If you drive though most of the residential streets in Waban, the sidewalks are not cleared. Why are they allowed to get aways with it, while us poor schmucks :-D in Newton Corner, do not?
