Keeping key areas of the City clear of snow and ice helps make winter bearable. Sidewalks Remember that sidewalks around homes and businesses should be fully cleared. This helps people move about and decreases the risk of injury. Keep in mind that people with mobility impairments need enough space to get around. To report unsafe sidewalks, call 673-2420.
Community organizations provide shoveling assistance for a fee.
Seniors and persons physically unable to keep their sidewalks and garbage cart paths in good winter condition can call 673-3004 for a referral. Free Sand City residents can pick up free sand to help them keep sidewalks safe. The sand is available at four street maintenance yards. The sand is furnished for the private use of residents only, not for commercial use. It is accessible outside the yard gates 24 hours a day seven days a week.
