New Icy Sidewalk Law Clarifies City Clearance Rules
The ordinance requires sidewalks to be cleared by a set time, with improved walks four feet wide and unimproved walks at least three feet wide. Ice or snow must be covered with sand or ash, and snow removal may be charged to property owners living outside the city. Violations lead to mayoral reports, police investigation, and fines up to ten dollars per offense. The city may file liens for unpaid cleaning costs and the old ordinance is repealed. The new law takes effect around March 13.
