The Department of Public Works released
draft regulations for new rules forclearing snow off sidewalks. The new rules require residential and commercial
property owners to clear snow within eight hours of daylight after snow has stopped
falling. Homeowners who fail to shovel their sidewalks can receive a $25
ticket, and business owners can get a $150 ticket. Senior citizens and people
with disabilities are exempt. Comments on the proposed rules will be accepted
until September 20.
