I have two questions for you guys.

Are homeowners required by law to shovel or remove the snow from the sidewalk in front of or around their house? Or is the snow removal by 95% of Maplewoodians common courtesy? I was honked at several times and almost hit by a car when I had to walk in the gutter of the street because my neighbors didn't remove the snow around their house. Walking a small dog in 15 inches of snow doesn't work.

My other question is regarding parking a second car in a one car driveway whereby the second car is parked through the sidewalk to the edge of the street making the sidewalk impassable. I'm struggling with leaving a note for 2 neighbors with huge SUV's that park through the sidewalk making it necessary to come out into the street without seeing if any cars are careening down my hill. It is especially unnerving when i am walking my dog early in the morning or at night. Is there a procedure in place for reporting this kind of stuff? I ordinarily wouldn't complain but me and my dog's safety are starting to be more important than not ruffling a neighbor's feathers. Please comment!!
