❄️Reminder: Clear Your Sidewalks!

We have noticed multiple areas where sidewalks have not been cleared.  This causes a hazard to everyone, including children on their way to school.

Homeowners, please clear snow/ice from sidewalks next to your property! 
Paths MUST be safe for pedestrians & wheelchair users.

Township Code:

221-11 Snow removal;

A. 
Every owner, occupant and/or tenant of any property which abuts a sidewalk or public walkway in the Township of Nether Providence shall remove or cause to be removed all snow from that sidewalk or walkway within 24 hours after the national or local weather service determines that the major accumulation of a storm has ended. The pathway shall be cleared and a pathway with a minimum width of three feet shall be created. 

If the owner, occupant or tenant chooses to not personally clear the sidewalk or walkway, he or she shall contract another party to clear it for them meeting any and all requirements of this article.

B. 
An "owner, occupant and/or tenant" is defined for the purposes of this article as any or all of the following, including, but not limited to, an individual, person, partnership, business and/or a corporation, and the term "he/she" shall be applicable to all such terms.

§ 221-12 Ice removal.
Every owner, occupant, and/or tenant of any property which abuts a sidewalk or public walkway in the Township of Nether Providence shall remove or cause to be removed any and all ice on the sidewalk or walkway or make the sidewalk or walkway safe for travel by pedestrians, through the application of a salt, sand, ashes or similar material or a similar antiskid material approved by the Code Enforcement Officer.

OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WILL BE CHECKING THE AREA IN THE MORNING.
