dumping snow indiscriminately in front of businesses

This is what greeted me when I arrived at my shop this morning.
I realize it's been a crazy winter, but I'm sure there are more suitable places to dump snow. It's dangerous for pedestrians, as much of the snow ends up on the sidewalk. It's also incredibly inconsiderate to us as a local business trying to survive during a slow time of year. The fire hydrant has also been covered, making it dangerous to my and other local businesses.
