 Be a good neighbor, shovel your sidewalks!
Don't forget to clear your sidewalks of snow and ice to allow everyone, including seniors and those with disabilities, to travel safely. As a reminder:
- Property owners and occupants are responsible for clearing sidewalks within 24 hours after any accumulation of snow or ice; paths must be at least 36 inches wide. This includes crosswalks and accessibility ramps.
- Businesses are expected to maintain safe access by shoveling sidewalks, clearing parking lots, and salting areas surrounding their establishments.
Get assistance: The Snow Shoveling Assistance Program connects senior and disabled residents with volunteers who are willing to provide snow shoveling services.
 Have a driveway? Shovel snow in the same direction that traffic is moving and clear snow from the opposite side to provide a space for plows to drop snow.
 Reminder: Clear the area around refuse carts
Clear snow from around your trash and recycling carts so that crews can access and empty them.
