Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, snow and ice shall be so removed from sidewalks in all business districts within the village by four business hours after the cessation of any fall of snow, sleet or freezing rain, or by the beginning of business hours of the next business day following such fall, whichever period is shorter.
