Residents and businesses have 24 hours after the end of a storm to clear any sidewalks adjacent to their property, including front, sides and any pedestrian ramps leading to the street. The law also prohibits shoveling snow into the street.
The city ordinance gives residents and businesses 24 hours to clear any sidewalks adjacent to their property, including front, sides and any pedestrian ramps leading to the street. We can't issue a citation if it's still snowing. If it's been less than 24 hours the resident or business owner still has time to clear the sidewalk.
There are many reasons your neighbors may need help clearing their sidewalks. Check in on your neighbors, especially those who are older or who have special needs, to see if they are safe, warm or need help. Communicating and working together is the best way to keep sidewalks clear all season.
We need the exact address of each uncleared sidewalk. We can't issue warnings or citations without this information.
We create individual case numbers for every property. That's why you need to report each address individually. Even if the properties are side-by-side, you'll need to enter a separate report for each one.
