The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a winter weather advisory from midnight tonight through 10 a.m. tomorrow. Snow is expected with accumulations of two to four inches. The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) advises residents prepare for slippery road conditions and use caution while traveling.
Keep Sidewalks and Curb Ramps Clear
While the City's Department of Parks, Recreation, & Public Works will salt and plow streets, if necessary, property owners and occupants are reminded that they have six (6) hours after the completion of a storm to remove snow and ice from sidewalks adjacent to their property, along with adjoining curb ramps or curb cuts.
Residents are urged to use caution when shoveling and assist elderly or disabled neighbors with clearing snow from their properties. It is illegal to shovel snow back onto streets or onto fire hydrants.
The City performs proactive inspections and relies on citizen complaints to help identify property owners that are not meeting sidewalk safety requirements. While most property owners comply with the safety regulations, the City will issue fines to those who do not keep sidewalks clear.
To report an un-shoveled sidewalk, please email [email protected].
