<br />February 27,2001 <br /> <br />City of Centerville <br />1880 Main Street <br />Centerville, MN 55038 <br />A TT: Jim March & City Council <br /> <br />RE: Snow removal from sidewalks <br /> <br />Dear Jim March & Centerville City Council Members, <br /> <br />I would like to take this time to thank Mr. March and the Centerville City <br />Council members for taking the time to address my concern. I have been a <br />resident of Centerville for the past three years and I am amazed at the lack of <br />concern our residents take on their part for removing snow from the <br />sidewalks in front of their homes and business'. The purpose for having the <br />sidewalks throughout our community is so we can use them to walk on. The <br />disregard by some residents and business owners is overwhelming to me. <br />Our children have to walk to and from the school bus in the middle of the <br />street even when a sidewalk is there. I spoke with Mr. March last week <br />regarding this matter that is of high concern to me. He stated that there is an <br />ordinance to cover this matter but that our city does not in force it. My <br />question is WHY? We moved here from S1. Paul and if your sidewalk was <br />not clear from any debris within 72 hours the city took care of it and you <br />were billed $70.00 an hour. If you didn't pay it was put on your property <br />taxes to be collected. People need to start taking responsibility and we need <br />to start enforcing our ordinances. <br /> <br />I would hope this issue is as important to you as it is to me and we can get <br />some resolve so that we can start using our sidewalks again. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Michele Wroblewski <br />
