Good Afternoon!

With more snow forecasted this evening and throughout the week, we would like to send a friendly reminder that per City Code, it is the responsiblity of property owners to remove the snow from the sidewalk in front of their property. For people with physical disabilities, even one inch of snow on the sidewalk can drastically impede movement. Please, clear the snow so all can go! 
Thank you! 

Sec. 110-278-Removal from sidewalks by owner. 

(a) The owner, occupant or person in charge of any building fronting upon or adjoining any street and the owner or person in charge of an unoccupied dwelling or lot fronting any street shall clean the sidewalk in front of or adjoining such building or unoccupied lot or dwelling, as the case may be, of snow and ice from such sidewalk within 48 hours after the precipitation that caused the accumulation of such snow and ice on the sidewalks ceases.

(b) When ice has formed on any sidewalk that it is difficult or impossible to remove, the person referred to in subsection (a) of this section shall keep the sidewalk sprinkled with salt, sand or any other chemical ice remover.
