Keep Sidewalks & Curb Ramps Clear

The City’s Department of Parks, Recreation, & Public Works will salt roads and City and County plowing crews will remain on standby for plowing and shoveling operations if needed. 

Should it snow, 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].
