I walked down Fenton this afternoon. The snow was melting, but the clouds were creeping across the sun with a promise of more snow and frigid weather.
Notice the piles of plowed snow covering several of the crosswalks along the way. The snow was deposited by snow plows after being pushed off of the road surface. Isn't there some way to prevent this? Would it really be so cost-prohibitive to ask the drivers to park the snow a little to the left or right so that disabled people can access the curb ramp? It seems to me to be a self-evident matter of public safety.
These photos and the accompanying video show pretty-clearly that this situation is a matter of procedure, not a one-off occurrence. The procedure needs to be changed...
