REMINDER TO CLEAR SNOW AND ICE
FROM SIDEWALKS
SIDEWALKS
Residents and business owners of property that abut public sidewalks are reminded of their responsibility to clear the sidewalk of snow and ice. Snow removal for residential property is required within 24 hours of snowfall and commercial property by 9AM following snowfalls that commence after 6PM. Sidewalks that have not been cleaned, force pedestrians to walk in the roadway. Besides presenting a hazard to pedestrians, it opens up the homeowner to personal liability for failure to comply with the ordinance.
