Unshoveled sidewalks
Attention residents and businesses
The Public Works Department would like to remind residents and business owners that it is your responsibility to clear the snow within the sidewalk area.

For every hour after the expiration of the specified four hours that the snow shall remain on such sidewalk, such owner, occupant or another person shall pay a fine. This section shall also apply to the falling of snow from any building. There is a similar Ordinance for ice removal 14-41.
