Wisconsin Statute 66.615 and Chapter 4.09 of the Municipal Code requires all property owners to keep public sidewalks cleared of snow and ice.  The sidewalk must be cleared of snow and ice the entire width and length.  Wisconsin Statute 66.615 also gives the City the responsibility to have unshoveled sidewalks cleared and to bill the property owner.  If the bill is not paid within 30 days, the bill goes on the tax roll.

Municipal ordinance states that all sidewalks shall be cleared of snow and ice within thirty-six hours after a snow storm.  After thirty-six hours, the Director of Public Works may cause the sidewalks to be cleared.  Clearing will start after consideration has been given to local conditions (amount of snowfall, street conditions, weather reports, etc.).

Direct any questions to the office of the Director of Public Works, 348-9741.
