Sidewalk Snow-Clearing Requirement To Be Discussed Tonight

The proposed ordinance that would require residents to clear snow and ice from their sidewalks will be discussed tonight, March 4 at the City Council’s meeting.

City Councillor Gary Marchese proposed the idea recently after hearing of residents’ concerns of sidewalks not cleared during the recent blizzard.

The issue will be discussed at the City Council’s Committee of the Whole Meeting at 8 p.m. at City Hall.

Currently, the city requires property owners on Main Street to clear their sidewalks within 24 hours of the last snowfall. That regulation applies to both sides of the street from Prospect Hill Road to Linden Street.
