SNOW CLEARING

In the event of a snowfall, the Town of Sidney will keep major arterial and collector streets open and will clear snow and ice from as many local streets as possible, particularly those in the downtown area. In addition, snow and ice will be cleared from the sidewalks at intersections and bus stops, with general priority given to locations serving higher pedestrian volumes.

Residents, property owners and businesses are reminded that Section 47 of the Town’s “Streets and Traffic Regulation Bylaw” (Bylaw No. 1966) requires every person being an occupant or owner of any property, to clear snow and ice from the sidewalk in front of or abutting their property. A fine of $75.00 may also be imposed for non-compliance under the Municipal Ticket Information Bylaw (Bylaw No. 1975). This does not include any potential third-party civil action that could be brought for non-compliance resulting in injury, damage, loss etc.

The Town is, therefore, requesting consideration and co-operation from all property owners and occupants in this matter to ensure the safety and convenience of the public at large. Please remember your elderly or disabled neighbours who would appreciate your assistance. Your efforts to make Sidney a safer all-weather community are greatly appreciated.
