Snowy sidewalks irk disabled
December 28th, 2007From the Rocky Mountain News [Denver, Colorado]:
The city of Denver gives businesses four hours after a snowfall to clear their sidewalks, while homeowners have 24 hours. But the city has been lenient in enforcing the policy, generating complaints from disability rights advocates who say lax enforcement leaves people trapped.
After the back-to-back snowstorms last winter, some people were trapped in their homes up to 60 days, according to Ed Neuberg, director of the Denver Commission for People with Disabilities.
