If property owners from this new 143 Endicott St-48 town house development ask the city to start removing the snow from the Rt 3 sidewalk and Lakeside Ave sidewalk it's a safe bet the city will remove the snow. What is it, maybe a one half mile loop walk, going along Tower St, Endicott St (Rt 3), and Lakeside Ave for a circular walk around the area. Laconia has a sidewalk snowplow and does the Lakeport and downtown areas.

Ariens makes a walk behind machine with a big rotating brush that actually does a good job for getting right down close to the asphalt, something that snowblowers do not usually do too good.

Have you seen the sidewalk snow remover in Meredith? Meredith has a very powerful front end loader, maybe 42" wide, with a snowblower that is a very strong performer.

The NH Dept Transportation does not do sidewalk snow removal, and leaves it up to the local towns which applies to the long sidewalk on Endicott St which is also Rt-3, D W Hgwy.

Maybe I can get an on-call, part time job and go hit the sidewalks there, when it snows, with my 10 year old 24" Troy-Bilt snowblower ..... hut-hut-hut! ....

Tower St has no sidewalk and gets snow removal by the city plows and is actually a better place to walk in the winter on the steep road than either the sidewalk on Lakeside Ave or Endicott St because their sidewalks do not get snow removal but that could maybe change with this new, big money development happening with 48 townhouses.

You know there's a snowblower repair guy in Lakeport at Lakeport Power Equipment who can keep old snowblowers running forever.
