[Vision2020] PR - Citizen Sidewalk Maintenance

[Donovan Arnold]

And if you have a disability that prevents you from shoveling the city property next to your property, too bad, the city council still requires you to get out in your wheelchair and shovel away.  The shovel police are coming to a sidewalk near you! 
 
Best Regards,
 
Donovan

For Immediate Release:
 
Citizen Sidewalk Maintenance
 
Moscow, Idaho, January 21, 2009 –As the forecast is calling for snow this coming weekend, January 24 and 25, the City of Moscow would like to remind residents that under Moscow City ordinance, it is the responsibility of the adjacent property owner to keep sidewalks clear of snow and debris.
 
Specifically the Moscow City Code - Title 5 Public Ways and Property states:
 
Sec. 9-3 Owner to Remove - It shall be the duty of every owner of any land, building, or lot within the City to remove snow and/or ice from adjacent sidewalks to permit the safe pedestrian passage upon said sidewalks bordering said property and to abate the nuisance set forth in this Chapter.  This duty applies to natural snowfall; it does not extend to snow displaced onto sidewalks by City snowplows after an owner has removed natural snowfall.
 
For more information please contact the Public Works Department at 208-883-7034.
