[Vision2020] PR - Citizen Sidewalk Maintenance

[Donovan Arnold]

And if you have a disability preventing you from removing snow and ice from the city owned property next to property you own or occupy, too bad, you are still required by our "non-discriminating" city lawmakers to shovel it all away.  The shovel police may be coming to a sidewalk near you, so watch out, don't get a misdemeanor rap on your record for missing a couple of flakes. 
 
Best Regards,
 
Donovan

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.
