MADISON, Wis. -- Many Madison residents have removed the snow and ice from their sidewalks, but there are lots of others still struggling with the messy snow-ice mix who are hoping to dodge a ticket from the city before more snow falls.

Three days after the winter storm, many in the area were still chipping away at snow and ice Tuesday. Even the professionals are still on the attack after using lots of salt.

"We used about 3,200 pounds of salt here at National Guardian Life (office building) just on our parking lots and our sidewalks, and we're still far from being done," said Mike Anderson.

Despite the difficulty of clearing walks, city building inspectors on Tuesday started issuing tickets for not having sidewalks cleared. The tickets are for $109, and other charges can be added if city crews have to come in and clear the walk, WISC-TV reported.

Inspectors already delayed enforcement one day due to the conditions, and on Tuesday they said they were only ticketing people who "have made no effort whatsoever" to clean up.

Inspectors said others were given 24-hour warnings. They said 75 complaints about snow-covered sidewalks were registered with building inspection by late Tuesday.

Messy sidewalks are more than a nuisance for people who use wheelchairs. John Donnelly had to wheel down the street downtown when cross curb cuts were clogged. Other times, he said he encountered patches of snow and ice that took several attempts to get through.

Meantime, some elderly people who can't clear their sidewalks were concerned about receiving tickets and calling senior center groups for help.

The West Madison Senior Coalition's phones were ringing off the hook Tuesday morning even before it opened, WISC-TV reported. Staff said around 50 calls for volunteer help came in between 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Coalition workers said they don't have enough volunteers to meet the demand and are shortening the application process to quickly get more help available for those seniors in need.

"These are for people who are low-income. We're trying to get them help. They don't have the money to pay those tickets and they're very, very concerned," said Lori Bell-Santek, an administrative assistant at West Madison Senior Coalition.

The West Madison Senior Coalition spent all day calling every volunteer it has had in the last two years to see if they could help.

Those interested in helping can call 608-238-7368. Workers said the new snowfall will only increase the need.

The city said it will work with senior groups to not ticket elderly people who need help clearing their walks.

But residents could still get a ticket from Saturday's dumping if the new snow doesn't become heavy. If that snow ends before midnight, inspectors said residents need to get walks cleared again before noon Wednesday.
