Downtown Partnership warns property owners

From Downtown Partnership:
Snow and Ice Removal
We're halfway through the snowiest winter in this state's history and, as weve been reminding Downtown property owners, if you own or manage a property in Baltimore City, it is your legal obligation to remove snow and ice around your entire property. Unfortunately, there are many locations that have not been cleared. So, we have compiled a list of these addresses and City officials will begin issuing citations to the property owners beginning on Wednesday, February 17.It is unfortunate that, even after several friendly reminders, some property owners are not shouldering their responsibility. If you are among those who have not cleared away the snow and ice, please do so immediately. It will keep Downtown workers, residents, and visitors safe. And, its the law.

About time. There are several businesses here in Federal Hill that have been open - some of them, like the convenience stores, probably doing better business than normal because people are less able to drive to other stores - that haven't bothered to shovel. The two worst offenders are Firestone and 7-11 who since they are situated on corners screw up twice as much sidewalk by not shoveling. You can pay your employees to wash your windows after the storm but not shovel? Give me a break...

I understand the law, but I want to know where we should put the snow. We currently have a snow mound that's probably about 7 feet high on our sidewalk. We literally have no where to put it assuming we want to keep the roads clear. We're certainly not the only house with this issue on our street. What should we do in this situation?
