The City of Gering is committed to ensuring that our community is safe, accessible, and walkable, and we wish to thank the Tri-Cities Active Living Advisory Committee for their help in developing this reporting process which will assist us in achieving those goals. Whether the problems are walkability issues, code enforcement violations or criminal violations the City of Gering and the Police Department need our community members to assist us with identification of problem areas. Gering City staff members cannot solve problems they don’t know about. Your report, combined with reports from other citizens, will help identify areas that are especially problematic and deserving of attention.
Your patience is appreciated. The City of Gering’s goal is to communicate with property owners and reporting parties to build a solid foundation to solve community problems. The majority of property owners are responsible citizens who will readily fix a problem once it is called to their attention. However, some property owners may have extenuating circumstance that may delay problem resolution. In that case City of Gering staff members and property owners may need assistance to resolve the problem. In some cases, City staff may be able to recommend or connect the property owner to resources in the community. For the property owners who fail to respond to a notice of violation they could receive a citation for a city ordinance violation. City staff will gather the necessary documentation of the violation as well as the City’s good-faith effort to contact and work with the property owner. This information could then be presented to the City prosecutor for consideration of charges.
Walkability Problem
The City of Gering is committed to helping solve walkability problems in the community because often times those same issues are also city ordinance violations. These violations can include:
- Vegetation blocking sidewalks
- Vehicles or objects blocking sidewalks
- Broken sidewalks
- Sidewalks with accumulations of snow, ice, gravel, dirt, etc.
- Loose dogs that threaten passersby
