Sidewalk Snow Removal

A partnership between the City and residents

The property owner's responsibility:
Per City Code, it is the responsibility of property owners to remove snow from the sidewalk in front of their property. For people with physical disabilities, even 1 inch of snow on the sidewalk can drastically impede movement. Please clear the snow so all can go!
