City of Buffalo plows and crews continued their snow cleanup efforts on Sunday.
One of the major concerns, however, remains sidewalk accessibility and safety after snow storms.
Mike Finn, the city's Commissioner of Public Works, says a major issue is property owners not taking full responsibility for their sidewalks. The city is not responsible for plowing and or clearing private property, even if a bus stop rests there. That responsibility falls on the abutting property owner.
Brenda Starks lives in the Fillmore District on Moselle Street in Buffalo. She says she's very concerned because her 12-year-old son, Dontae, is forced to stand in the street to wait for his school bus due to snow build up on the sidewalk.
"They haven't shoveled or plowed, and he's like right in the street, and I fear that somebody is going to either hit him because they're sliding in the snow," Starks says.
