As the snow continues to fall we would like to remind you of policies the Village has regarding sidewalks in front of your home or business:

It is the responsibility of the property owner to clear the snow or ice on the sidewalk abutting their property within four hours of snow fall or prior to the business day, whichever is sooner. If that is not done the property owner will receive a ticket from the Village Code Enforcement Officer. Please keep the sidewalks clear for everyone the uses these pathways.

When you shovel snow and clear ice

• Shovel the sidewalks on all sides of your property, the full width of the sidewalk down to the bare pavement.
• Remove all ice from sidewalks. After the sidewalk is cleared, sprinkling a little sand or salt can help prevent slipping on frosty sidewalks.
• Deposit all snow onto your own property, do not dump into the street.

Remember

• You are as responsible for clearing ice on your sidewalk as well as snow. Ice can be more dangerous and intimidating than snow.
• The sooner and more completely you shovel, the less likely ice will form.
• Arrange for someone to shovel while you are on vacation.
