Property owners are required to remove snow and ice from:
Sidewalks: Clear a path at least 3 feet wide to ensure safe access for people using wheelchairs, strollers, and other mobility devices.
Fire hydrants: If a hydrant is in front of your home or business, clear it so the Fire Department can reach it quickly in an emergency.
Street corners: Shovel corners that abut your property, including curb ramps that connect sidewalks to the street, to keep crossings safe and accessible for all.
