33-8-2 SNOW AND ICE TO BE REMOVED FROM SIDEWALKS BY PRIVATE
PERSONS.
(A) Every person in charge or control of any building or lot of land within the City
fronting or abutting on a paved sidewalk, whether as owner, tenant, occupant, lessee
or otherwise, shall
remove and clear away, or cause to be removed and cleared away, snow and ice
from a path from so
much of a sidewalk as is in front or abuts on said building or lot of land. Snow and ice
shall be so
removed from sidewalks in all business districts within the City by twenty-four (24)
hours after
cessation of any fall of snow, sleet or freezing rain. The path required to be cleared in
the business
district shall be six (6) feet in width, or the whole width of the sidewalk, whichever is
smaller.
(B) However, in the event snow and ice on a sidewalk has become so hard that it
cannot be removed without likelihood of damage to the sidewalk, the person charged
with its removal
shall, within the time mentioned in subsection (A) above, cause enough sand, cinders
or other abrasive to
be put on the sidewalk to make travel thereon reasonably safe; and shall then, as
soon thereafter as
weather permits, cause a path on said sidewalk of at least six (6) feet in width to be
thoroughly
cleaned.
