Did you know that sidewalks need to be cleared of snow and ice within 12 hours of the end of a winter storm?
Keeping sidewalks safe and accessible is vital for a walkable community, and it’s up to us as residents and business owners to make sure our neighborhoods remain pedestrian-friendly — especially here in Bridgeville!
But many are unsure: Whose sidewalk is it, anyway?
The answer: If the sidewalk abuts your property, you’re responsible for keeping it clear! Even if it’s not technically on your land, property owners are required to maintain the sidewalks in front of their homes, offices, and stores.
Let’s work together to make our streets safer for everyone. A little snow shoveling can go a long way in keeping our neighbors safe!
