12.40.020    Obstructing, etc.

12.40.010 Removal of snow and ice.

It shall be unlawful for the owner and/or occupant of any property abutting one or more public sidewalks to fail to cause to be removed from such sidewalks all snow and ice within 48 hours from the time the snow or ice storm ends. If the snow falls or ice accumulates upon the sidewalks in the nighttime, removal of it must be within 48 hours after sunrise.

Where there shall be ice or compacted snow on any such sidewalk of such a character as to make it practically impossible to remove the same, the sprinkling of sand or noncorrosive chemicals on the accumulation of ice or snow in such a manner as to make such sidewalk reasonably safe for pedestrian travel shall be deemed sufficient compliance with provisions of this section until the ice or snow can be removed. (Ord. 2366 § 5)

12.40.020 Obstructing, etc.

Any person who shall leave or allow to be left any obstructions, i.e., vehicles, that prohibit the use of sidewalks by the public or other public ways of this City longer than is necessary for loading or unloading shall be in violation of this code. (Ord. 2366 § 5)
