Sidewalk Snow and Ice Removal Reminders MT. PLEASANT, MI ? The City?s Snow and Ice Removal from Sidewalks Ordinance (98.37) is focused on safety. As the winter weather approaches, there are items we need to remember. ? Owners and/or occupants of all properties within the City must clear any accumulation of ice and/or snow from public sidewalks adjoining such property. ? Clearing must be done within 24 hours of accumulation or placement of snow and/or ice. ? If a sidewalk is not cleared within the 24-hour period of accumulation, the City may issue a civil infraction ticket that is a personal debt owed to the City for each day that the owner fails to clear the sidewalk. ? If the City has to remove ice and/or snow from the sidewalk, a lien on the property is imposed for the cost of clearing the sidewalk. ? Properties located along school routes are not exempt from this ordinance. ? Sidewalks designated for clearance by the City are worked on after City streets, alleys and parking lots have been plowed. For a map on which sidewalks are plowed by the City visit: www.mt-pleasant.org/maps.
