Well, the same old games are being played here in Brookfield. When it comes to taking care of snowfall, here in Brookfield, the village has the money and time to clean away the snow that businesses pile on the sidewalks when they clear the parking spaces for their businesses.
There is an ordinance that says you are not supposed to do that. There are times when these snow piles are three and four feet high.
I have been told by the village that the snow that they clear away is what is pushed on the sidewalks when the street is cleaned. Sure it is. We all know that in no way would you get three- and four-foot snow piles of snow pushed on the sidewalks when the plow goes by.
Someone must have their head buried in a snow bank to come up with that reply.
Two winters ago, I took one of the village people around and showed him all of the places where the sidewalks were blocked. Last year and this year nothing has changed.
The village has the money and time to clean up after the business, but when the side streets are plowed, all of the crosswalks are blocked. Is it right that the school children and pedestrians have to crawl over those blocked crosswalks?
What about the people who are walking to and from the train station? If they use Burlington Avenue, they have to walk in the roadway. Westchester is looking for a new manager, and I think it is time for Brookfield to do the same.
