I want to know who to contact about a sidewalk not being shoveled. (Police - General)
Sidewalks are to be clear of debris, obstructions and snow or ice. Snow being removed from driveways and sidewalks must be deposited on yards or the terrace area, not upon streets or alley ways, per City Ordinance 16-10.
Sec. 16-10. Snow and ice removal.
(a) Every person shall, no later than 36 hours following cessation of a snowfall, remove all snow and/or ice from the entire width of the sidewalk in front of the premises owned or occupied by him; provided that, immediately after the accumulation of ice on such sidewalk, it shall be treated with sand, salt or other substance to prevent it from being slippery. The ice shall continue to be so treated in such a manner as to prevent the ice from being dangerous until it can be removed and shall then be promptly removed. If the owner or occupant of such premises shall fail to remove such snow and ice or to sprinkle a sidewalk as required, the work shall be done under the direction of the Common Council and the expenses thereof made a special tax upon the lot in front of which such work was done.
(b) No person shall remove or cause to be removed any snow or ice from his premises, residence, parking lot, parking area, business property or other area onto any public right-of-way or property. Snow removed from public sidewalks shall not be stored in any manner which will obstruct or limit vehicular or pedestrian vision, movement or access.
(c) The deposit of any snow or ice upon any sidewalk alley or street of the city contrary to the provisions of this section is a nuisance, and in addition to the penalty provided for violation of this chapter, the City may summarily remove any snow or ice so deposited and cause the cost of the removal to be charged to the owner of the property from which the snow or ice has been removed.
Complaints about a sidewalk area should be forwarded to the Department of Public Works at (920) 832-6474.
