SNOW REMOVAL REMINDER
The department would like to take this opportunity...while it's 23 degrees and snowing...to remind our residents of the requirement to keep the sidewalks clear from snow, slush and ice
Sheridan Municipal Code States:
The owners, agents and occupants of any house, warehouse, store, tenement house or any other building, and the ground belonging thereto or occupied by them, and the owner and agent of any vacant lot within the city, shall keep the
sidewalks, whether paved or not, in front of and adjoining such property, clean, and after any fall of snow, shall cause the snow and all slush and ice to be immediately removed from the sidewalk fronting their respective lot into the carriageway of the street. (R.O. 1937, § 761.)
Currently, municipal code allows residents to place snow from the sidewalks into the street. A resolution was recently passed by the city council that encourages city residents to place sidewalk snow on their yard or property when possible. Cooperation with this resolution will lead to efficient snow removal, driver safety, pedestrian safety and protection of city street surfaces. The resolution may become ordinance in the future and all citizens will be advised well in advance of any changes. Thank you all for your cooperation with the swift removal of snow.
