Who is responsible for shoveling snow off sidewalks?
That is the responsibility of property owners with frontage abutting the sidewalk. Snow must be removed from sidewalks within eight hours of the end of a storm, but not later than noon of the following day. If it is not removed within 24 hours, the town will hire a contractor to do so at the property owner’s expense. Snow plowed or shoveled out at the end of a driveway should be put to the side, not out into the road. Violators may be fined. Homeowners should shovel or plow their driveways so all snow is pushed to the right side as you face the road. This will minimize the amount of snow pushed back into a driveway by town plows.
