Sidewalk Snow & Ice Removal
CARBONDALE - Sidewalk Snow & Ice Removal
As the National Weather Service forecasts potentially hazardous winter weather for the upcoming weekend, the City of Carbondale is actively preparing to respond. A press release (reference here) has been put out with full information regarding emergency snow routes, shelters, and safety tips for winter storms.
We are now releasing each subject individually for assurance of receiving and ease of taking in information.
In the event of winter weather, residents are encouraged to do the following to clear sidewalks:
-
Carbondale Revised Code requires that owners and occupants of properties with adjoining sidewalks must clear snow, sleet, or ice accumulation. Find more info on snow removal from sidewalks here.
-
If snow, sleet, or ice cannot be removed without damaging the sidewalk, abrasive material must be placed on the sidewalk.
-
A path of at least 30 inches wide should be cleared within 48 hours after the end of a snow or other freezing precipitation.
If you have questions regarding the City’s snow and ice removal, contact Building and Neighborhood Services.
Residents will be alerted if City Buildings and services, such as water and sewer building, are closed on Monday due to the storm. Reminder that bills can be paid online at invoicecloud and residents can alert city employees of issues via SeeClickFix
