Description
The entire block between Robinson and Davis on West Main is iced over and is extremely unsafe to walk on, especially for those who live on this block and need to use the sidewalk to leave or get into their homes. The sun does not hit this side of West Main which means it's not melting on its own. It's a hazard and fated for accidents

See City code Sec. 24-34. - Duty to remove snow from paved sidewalks: (a) It shall be the duty of every occupant of any land or premises abutting upon any paved sidewalk and the duty of the owner of any unoccupied land or premises abutting upon any paved sidewalk to remove and clear away or cause to be removed and cleared away the snow from the paved sidewalk abutting such land or premises, in such manner as not to obstruct the passage of water in the gutters, within six hours after the snow ceases to fall. If snow ceases to fall during the night, removal of snow from the sidewalk before 11:00 a.m. the following morning shall be deemed compliance with this section. You may request to have these properties inspected for violation of the snow removal code by submitting a request at RVA311.com under Zoning and Code Enforcement -- Report Private Property Maintenance Issues.
