SNOW
From Page 1
get there.
Jed's mother, Betsy Erwin,
said in an interview last year
that her son's difficulties navi-
gating after a snowstorm are
due to the lack of coordination
in snow removal between the
city and the University, caus-
ing snow mounds to accumulate
to levels too high for her son to
pass.
"The city came through after
the University plowed, and when
the city came through, they left
mounds of snow at the curb's
cuts, and that was Jed's biggest
issue," she said.
LSA senior Claire Abraham,
who has been in a wheelchair
since she was four years old, said
in an interview last year that she
has also faced challenges in the
winter.
Commuting from Novi, Mich.
during her first two years at the
University, Abraham found it
difficult to park her van with
snow on the ground.
"I have a wheelchair lift on
my van, and the lift obvious-
ly wouldn't go down over the
snow," Abraham said.
Abraham lived in Betsy Bar-
bour Residence Hall last year
and said the snow on the side-
walks near the residence hall
posed a problem for her.
"There is a big pile of snow
right (outside), and I can plow
through it with my wheelchair
pretty easily, but when it's sit-
ting there for a while it gets
kind of hard to plow through it,"
Abraham said last year.
Carole Dubritsky, Americans
with Disabilities Act coordinator
for the University, wrote in an
e-mail interview that after talk-
ing with students on campus,
she found that while sidewalks
and streets are traversable, large
amounts of snowfall around
curbs can cause difficulties for
disabled students.
"In talking with students, fac-
ulty, staff and visitors with dis-
abilities about this issue, they
have reported that although
UM sidewalks are passable,
curb cuts - which are essential
for crossing streets for those
with disabilities - may become
impassable when there has been
significant snowfall," Dubritsky
wrote.
The University strives to
make snow removal "a prior-
ity," she wrote, and officials go
to sites multiples times a day to
ensure students have optimal
access to sidewalks.
"The University makes every
effort to revisit locations receiv-
ing the most pedestrian traffic in
an effort to keep these intersec-
tions and the curb cuts free from
snow," Dubritsky wrote.
She added that disabled stu-
dents have the option to utilize
Paratransit Services, a Universi-
ty company that provides door-
to-door transportation ,during
the winter months.
Kirk Pennington, street main-
tenance field operations super-
visor for the city of Ann Arbor,
said that the city and the Uni-
versity snow services have "very
minimal coordination."
Pennington said the city's
main responsibilities are to clear
city streets including North Uni-
versity Avenue, South Univer-
sity Avenue and State Street. He
added that it is the responsibil-
ity of property owners, not city
plows, to remove snow piles out-
side the owners' properties.
John Lawter, associate direc-
tor of Building Services and
Grounds for the University, said
the University's plowing opera-
tion functions as a separate enti-
ty from the city's plows.
"It's two independent opera-
tions," Lawter said. "We don't
call them every time there is a
snow."
However, Lawter said the two
operations occasionally share
resources. He highlighted the
instance a few years ago when
the University had a salt short-
age and borrowed from the city.
The University is mainly
responsible for plowing side-
walks, handicapped ramps, bus
stops and other University areas,
Lawter said. He added that the
University is forced to outsource
some of the snow removal to out-
side contractors.
"We can't size ourselves to do
everything that needs to be done
so we do have some contracts out
there," Lawter said.
