KNOW THE SNOW REMOVAL LAW OR FACE FINES

A reminder that you must remove snow from your public sidewalk and other public areas within 24 daylight hours of the end of a snowfall or face fines.

See the full related laws below:

The owner, occupant or tenant of premises abutting or bordering on any street in the Township of Maplewood shall remove all snow and ice from the abutting sidewalks of such street or the abutting right-of-way actually used by the public within 24 hours from the end of every snowfall or hail or after the formation of ice upon the sidewalks or abutting right-of-way. In the event of ice which may be so frozen as to make removal impractical, the ice shall be thoroughly covered with sand or salt within 24 hours from the end of every fall of snow, or hail, or after the formation of ice upon the sidewalks or abutting right-of-way so as to protect against falls.

common sense on the part of the town need to be used in the case of this about 30inch snow fall.
