<\/p>\nDear Neighbors,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’ve received a few inquiries on sidewalk snow removal lately, so I did some research on the topic. When we receive the amount of snow like we’ve had in the last week or so and it sticks, sidewalks can be dangerous places to walk.<\/p>\n
Boise City Code 9-08-07 – Removing snow from sidewalks<\/strong> – states that<\/p>\n the owner of a building (home, business, church, etc) is to keep their sidewalks clear of snow every day. \u00a0Usually, snow melts quickly here and doesn’t last long enough to be a concern. However, when the snowfall sticks, it’s important that we shovel it off our sidewalks.<\/p>\n Boise City Zoning Enforcement handles this complaint, and can be reached at 384-3845<\/strong> if you have questions or want further information.<\/p>\n A little Boise trivia: The ordinance was first written in 1922 and updated in 1952. One of the reasons the code was written was to allow Boise Police Foot Patrols to cover their beats safely. Now that we have many more sidewalks than in 1952, the issue now is for the safety of our residents.<\/p>\n We can look on this as our winter ‘neighborhood get-together’ – shoveling snow together :)! Take care and be safe!<\/p>\n Charlene Miller Dear Neighbors, I’ve received a few inquiries on sidewalk snow removal lately, so I did some research on the topic.
