City Sidewalk Snow Removal Information~ As winter is once again upon us in Buchanan, city officials are reminding citizens to keep sidewalks free of snow and keeping sidewalks clear of obstructions, including snow and ice. This improves the safety and appearance of the city. If sidewalks aren’t plowed people will start walking in the street and that is unsafe and something we want to avoid as much as possible.. City crews only plow sidewalks on city-owned properties, leaving the rest up to individual property owners. There is a city ordinance requiring property owners to remove snow and ice from their sidewalks. City crews also have the option of clearing sidewalks at the expense of the property owner. The city recommends that people follow these winter safety tips: • To assist snow removal crews, park vehicles in off-street locations during snow or events • Do not plow, shovel or blow snow into the street • Do not plow, shovel or blow snow onto a public sidewalk • Keep snow shoveled away from nearby fire hydrants so they can easily be located by firefighters during an emergency • Assist elderly or disabled neighbors with snow removal • Keep snow piles low enough so they do not create a site distance or viewing problem for motorists
