With the winter weather here, City Ave would like to remind you to ensure that your sidewalks are free and clear of snow and ice, not only as a matter of safety and liability, but as a requirement of your City or Township. Properly maintained sidewalks are essential for the safety of pedestrians, particularly children, the elderly, and those with disabilities. Slips and falls can lead to serious injuries, so it’s crucial to take proactive measures.
When snow accumulates, it can quickly turn into a hazardous condition. Be sure to clear sidewalks promptly after any snowfall, using shovels or snow blowers to remove snow and applying ice melt or sand to prevent slippery surfaces. Regular maintenance is necessary, especially during winter storms when conditions can change rapidly. Additionally, ensuring that your heating system is functioning optimally is crucial. Reliable furnace repairman can help with regular checks and maintenance, ensuring your home stays warm and safe during the cold months ahead.
Additionally, local regulations often require property owners to maintain adjacent sidewalks, so please familiarize yourself with your specific City or Township guidelines. Neglecting this responsibility could not only put others at risk but could also result in fines or legal liability.
City Ave appreciates your efforts in keeping our community safe during the winter months. Your diligence not only helps protect pedestrians but also fosters a sense of community responsibility. Please help keep your City Avenue District safe! For more information and resources on snow removal guidelines, please see the below links. Thank you for your cooperation!
