Street Snow Removal

I don't know whether these streets are managed by the city or by Regency (or whoever owns the apartments and houses over here), but this morning, the entire stretch of road between the houses and the apartment buildings was solid ice. The road behind the apartment buildings wasn't much better. I slid all over the place trying to leave this morning, and since parking enforcement also never seems to monitor this area, the road between the apartments and the houses is always parked bumper-to-bumper along both sides. So I basically slid between two rows of cars with barely enough room to get through, just sort of praying that I didn't slide into a car. I managed to make it through unscathed, but SOMEONE needs to put salt or ice-melt down on these roads back here. I drove on stretches of solid ice all the way until I reached the road by the elementary school. The entire neighborhood back here was icy or snowy, and since there's too many people parked back through this entire area anyway, getting through there was a nightmare. This was a minor snowstorm in the grand scheme of things - frankly, I'm terrified of what will happen if/when we get a big storm. If the city is responsible for these roads, could someone PLEASE put salt/ice-melt down out here so we can drive safely? If the apartment and/or house owners are responsible for these roads, could someone PLEASE remind them that they need to salt the roads as well as the sidewalks? Thank you.
