Mayor urges sidewalk snow removal cooperation citywide
Mayor Hugh V. Gitt inger called for voluntary compliance with the city snow removal ordinance after a weekend storm. He noted about 60 percent of sidewalks were uncleared and cited staffing shortages in the Park Department, police, streets, and parks as factors. The ordinance requires a four foot passage along front and side pavements within six hours after snow stops, with exceptions for late storms. Penalties can apply, but officials prefer voluntary aid to reduce accidents. Some snow has already been hauled, and a salt solution is being used where cinders are scarce.
