The City of Salisbury wants to remind property owners that the sidewalks throughout the City shall be free of snow to ensure safe travel of pedestrians.
Section 12.04.060 Removal of snow from sidewalks--Notice--Enforcement of the Salisbury Municipal Code currently requires that:
All owners and persons in possession of any land or premises situated on any street within the city where sidewalks are laid shall remove the snow therefrom the entire length thereof for a width of at least four feet and may deposit the same along the remaining portion of such sidewalks nearest the curb within six hours after it has ceased falling, unless the same shall have fallen between the hours of five p.m. and seven a.m., in which case it shall be removed before two p.m. In the event that the snow is not removed within the time and manner above provided, the owner or person in possession shall be notified to forthwith remove the same and, in the event of a failure to do so, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. In addition thereto, the city may cause the same to be removed as above specified and charge the cost thereof against the owner or occupant, to be recovered by suit.
(Prior code § 136-6)
Legislation that will modify this requirement is pending.

It's a Christmas message from Mayor Jim-Beau!
ReplyDeleteDrove around 2 days later and a lot of sidewalks were covered in the city.Code Personnel could do the same.
ReplyDeleteI'm not shoveling my sidewalks until the City of Salisbury learns to plow and salt their roads. How many car accidents were there last week that would have been prevented if the city just put down salt?
ReplyDeleteSounds like the mayor is in a bad mood this Christmas
ReplyDeleteEasy way for them to get some money.
ReplyDeleteProperty owners are slaves?
