Property owners are reminded the Columbus City Code requires sidewalks to be cleared of snow within 24 hours of a snowfall.
With warming weekend temperatures, we have an excellent opportunity to clear the sidewalks from the two recent snowfalls before the next snowfall arrives. Business owners are asked to ensure that contractors clearing parking lots do not push snow onto and cover the adjacent sidewalks. Sidewalk clearing should not be a shovel width or one pass of the snow blower, but the entire sidewalk width to ensure pedestrian safety.
