I heard a lot more people start converting to those global warming theories as we rode into January with unseasonably warm weather in Michigan.
Our snow removal and salt budgets were looking good for a change.
Well mother nature is back (or at least the cold air and a little snow). One of the things we have to remind people of is making sure their sidewalks are cleared of snow.
The City of Davison Ordinance # 1024.10 explains the guidelines for keeping sidewalks safe.
1024.10 SNOW AND ICE ON STREETS AND SIDEWALKS.
(a) No person in possession of any premises which abut or are adjacent to a public sidewalk shall fail to remove all snow and ice from such public sidewalk within a reasonable time after a snowfall or the formation of ice.
(b) No person shall, by any act or omission, allow water or any liquid capable of freezing to drain onto any public sidewalk, street, alley or parking area during the months of November, December, January, February and March.
(c) No person shall pile, dump or place snow, ice or any other material on any sidewalk or public street in the City, or in such other place or manner so as to create a safety hazard to the people of the City
An additional note: We do not wait until you clear your drive way and then run the plow trucks down to fill in the driveway openings. We do understand what an inconvenience this is, but it is not done to frustrate you.
