What does that mean exactly? How the ordinance is written up and followed thru with currently now (and in the past) or is this possibly a discussion to modernize/change the Ordinance?

Are there seriously people who don't like the new regulations? It seems so much simpler than the four hours of daytime.

Is there any way to submit a letter that would be taken into account by the Committee / Board of Aldermen without being physically present at the meeting? I would love to attend but am afraid I won't be able to.

I understand a "set-in-stone" ordinance/law needs to be established, but I really wish in situations of this nature logic and common sense could be applied. I see people that try very hard to clear their adjoining walkway and others that do very much the bare minimum.

It's nice to know that the new Board of Aldermen is listening to their constituents instead of just rubber-stamping what the Mayor wants and damn the consequences. I wish they would have done this before approving it, but this is a change for the better. Now, when there is push back from the citizenry, the Alderpeople are listening and trying to fix the problem, instead of saying "tough luck, that's the way it is".

Elections have consequences!
