Shoveling Snow from Sidewalks

This is a friendly reminder that St. Paul residents AND businesses are required by city code to shovel their sidewalks within 24 hours of a snowfall. For those of you who sit on corners, you are also required to clear any wheelchair ramps at the curbs.

Everyone knows the hassle of doing their shoveling and then having the city plows come along and push that nasty stuff back up over curbs. So remember to reclear those access points from your sidewalks to the street.

If their are elders on your block who could use some help, be generous with your shovel or snowblower!

And don't forget your neighborhood mail carrier!! Try to make sure that access to your mailbox is cleared to make it easier for these hard-working folks.

COMING SOON we will have door-hangers that you can leave as a gentle reminder for your neighbors who forget what needs to be done. Let us know if you would like some of these handy notices to use to keep our sidewalks SAFE for us all to walk.
