The Boscobel Police Department would like to remind residents of the city to clear the snow and ice from sidewalks abutting their lot/property. There are many residents in the city who have mobility issues and are impacted by snow and ice covered sidewalks. We know it has been cold lately, but it's important that we are considerate of our neighbors, fellow community members, and visitors to the city.
The duty of snow and ice removal is outline in Boscobel Municipal Ordinance 8.06, which reads as follows:
The owner or occupant of an occupied or unoccupied lot abutting on a street shall keep
the sidewalk abutting thereon free from snow, ice, dirt or rubbish of any kind. Any snow falling
between 6 p.m. and 7 a.m. shall be removed before the following 6 p.m. and all snow falling at
other times shall be removed within 12 hours after the same ceases to fall. If the owner or
occupant fails to remove the snow, ice or dirt or rubbish as provided herein, the same shall be
removed by the street department and the cost thereof assessed against the property, to be entered
in the tax roll and collected as other taxes are collected.
Be safe and stay warm out there!
