The City of Columbus asks for your cooperation in the removal of snow and ice from sidewalks in accordance with Section 92.30 of the Columbus City Code which states that it shall be unlawful for the owner or occupant of any lot to permit snow or ice or hard packed snow to accumulate or remain on the sidewalk contiguous thereto. Such sidewalks shall be cleaned within twenty-four (24) hours after the cessation of any storm or fall of snow.
The City Code further states that no person shall deposit, throw, blow or otherwise dispose of any snow, ice or hard packed snow on any public property, street, alley or other public way except for the sidewalks in the downtown area, as defined in the Snow and Ice Control Policy, which snow shall be returned to the curb-line dividing the streets and sidewalks in said designated area.
