Winter does not let go, and residents of Poznań have definitely adequate problems with it. 1 of the residents who complains about the state of the sidewalks in the city wrote to us. - I'm sorry. Poznań opens a free rink for the cost of human life - writes. - Bravo, Mr. President! The people of Poznań express their sincere admiration for your innovative "natural selection" method on the pavements. While the full planet is wasting money on salt and sand, our administration wisely recognized that the laws of physics and gravity would do the work for municipal services absolutely free. Is the ice layer covering the full city a fresh task in utmost tourism? The death of a man as a consequence of falling on an icy sidewalk in the centre of the European city in 2026 is undoubtedly a "success" that deserves a peculiar place in reports on revitalization and modernisation of the city - adds. - I'm sorry. We request designation of facts: If the city services are incapable to cope with the "unexpected" phenomenon called "winter", then possibly the seat of the City president has besides become besides slippery for the current ruler? It is time to decision on from expressing deep concern to criminal work for criminal misconduct. Mr. President, the city is not "Holiday on Ice," and you are not a horror producer. Either put the sand on the streets immediately, or resign before the list of victims of Mr. "effective management" is extended by further names - He's done.
We wrote about the problem of unsnowed sidewalks in the city many times. Many times the city besides informed about it. It is up to the property owner or manager to remove snow, ice and snow mud from the pavement. Importantly, for failing to fulfil their obligations in this respect, property owners and property managers are facing a fine of up to PLN 500 (if the case is referred to the court, the punishment may be higher). They may besides be required to pay treatment costs or to pay compensation to the injured individual if an accident occurs on an icy or snow-free pavement.
