With winter upon us, residents and business owners should remember to clear snow from walks within 24 hours of snow fall.

The city code requires clear pathways for pedestrians following storms. The city Code Enforcement Official will be monitoring sidewalks for safety and will issue warnings and, if necessary, citations to those who fail to clear snow.

Residents who are unable to clear snow because of ability, illness, or an absence from home should seek help from local volunteer groups, family, friends or neighbors.

For more information, contact Code Enforcement Official Steve Earls at (719) 852-2692.
