Winter is coming: don’t forget to shovel! ❄️⛄The snow is almost here, and with that, we want to make sure we’re addressing the needs for all levels of ability and mobility. We’ve noticed some sidewalks in commercial areas and along busy streets that don’t get shoveled and end up with treacherous icy patches in the winter months. In Wheat Ridge, the owner, occupant or tenant of any building, property or lot is required to clear walkways within 24 hours of snowfall equaling 2 inches or more. Don’t forget to shovel your own sidewalk if you have one, and maybe give a gentle reminder or help to those who have forgotten to make sure that everyone of every ability level can move about safely.
New website, and stickers! We’ve re-launched our site - https://www.wratat.org/ - and have ordered some new stickers. Drop us a note (wratat@gmail.com) if you’d like a few to decorate your bike or share with friends and family.
