While it can be difficult to remove the snow from the sidewalks of a residence or business (particularly when snowplows are clearing snow from the streets), the City of Gillette would like to remind business owners that it is the responsibility of the owner or occupant to remove the snow within 24 hours after it has snowed. Business owners and homeowners can be ticketed for failure to comply.
City Code: 18-17 Removal of obstructions by owner or occupant of abutting property—Generally.
(b) The owners or occupants of any real estate in the city shall be required to remove the snow from the sidewalk adjoining such property within twenty-four hours after the fall of the snow; provided, that only the snow lying on the sidewalks may be pushed into the streets; and provided further that no accumulation of snow from privately owned lands or from parking areas shall be removed and pushed into the street. (Ord. 489, § 1, 2-1-65.)
