With the Winter Season in full force, the City would like to take a moment and remind both residents and businessowners of their responsibility to keep sidewalks and walkways free and clear of snow for everyone’s safety.

Section 11-1 of the Municipal Code states “No person who is an owner or manager of any property, lessee leasing the entire premises or adult occupant of a single-family dwelling shall fail to keep all public sidewalks and walkways abutting the premises such perosn owns, leases or occupied clear of snow, ice, sleet and hail, as provided in this Section.  Such person shall remove any accumulation of snow, ice, sleet, hail, sand and mud as promptly as reasonably possible after accumulation and no later than 9:00 a.m. of the day following the accumulation.  Such person shall remove the accumulation of snow, ice, sleet, hail, sand and mud from the full width of all sidewalks and walkways, except those with a width exceeding five (5) feet, which must be cleared to a width of at least five (5) feet.  Person, for the purpose of this Article, may include a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity as well as a managing agent thereof.”  (Ord. 93-2 § 1, 1993)
