- people have 18 hours to clear sidewalk once snow has accumulated 1 inch, or after snow has stopped, whichever comes first.
- no grace period; properties failing to meet that standard will have city plows clear their sidewalk for them and be billed for the full cost of clearing the snow
Do you think residents will stand for that, because that's what I think it would take.
Lol, given that we can have one inch of snow in an hour, I like this policy, no property owner can meet that standard and keep a full time job.
At this point, the city can save lots of money by billing virtually every property for snow clearing while enjoying the savings of clearing all the properties at once with a single plow.
