Wednesday coverage
On Wednesday, News 12 witnessed several people along Central Avenue in Scarsdale having to walk on the street because sidewalks were snow-covered.
"I think that that's super dangerous because obviously the ongoing traffic," said Alexandrov. "I think that if they don't clear them up, somebody can get seriously injured."
There are others that tell News 12 they understand that clean up efforts will just take time.
"It snowed pretty hard and the snow is coming again, I heard, this weekend. So, it's not that bad," said Yonkers resident Anthony Mitchell.
When it comes to the Bee-Line bus stops, we wanted to see who is in charge of clearing them.
According to the county website, it says that neither the county nor the Bee-Line system are responsible for clearing snow and ice at bus stops, except if they are located on county property. It continues with saying that if there is snow or ice around bus stops, it would fall on the local municipality.
However, in a statement sent to News 12 from a City of White Plains spokesperson, it isn't the city's job. It does say that city crews have been helping clear up bus stops whenever ever they can.
Department of Public Works crews in White Plains have been working non-stop this week to remove as much snow as they can from sidewalks, curbs, crosswalks, etc. News 12 was told that those efforts will continue this week.
News 12 reached out to Scarsdale and Westchester County but did not hear back.
