Complaints re: Unshoveled Sidewalks Pile Up

Item: Complaints of unshoveled walks pile up with snow/Keila Szpaller, Missoulian

More Info: Jamie Crouch walks to work - and in the winter, she slips and slides, too. “I walk through town a lot, and most people don't shovel their walks at all,” said Crouch, who gets around Missoula by bus, foot and bike.

DFO: As one who walks 2-3 miles almost daily, I appreciate homeowners and businesses who shovel their sidewalks. I'd say it's 50-50 between those who do and those who don't. I'm thankful for those who do.

Question: Should neighbors report neighbors who don't shovel their sidewalks fairly promptly after a storm?
