A tough place to walk

David Boyd of Mount Vernon takes careful steps Monday as he crosses the viaduct on South Main Street. The snow-covered sidewalks on either side of the roadway get buried in snow when city plows clear the street. Mount Vernon Safety-Service Director Dave Glass confirmed it is the city’s responsibility to clear these walks, but said that task is completed after streets are cleared.
