It’s the law: Keep sidewalks clear
All that snow has to go somewhere.
If you own a business or home in Coeur d'Alene, the law says that somewhere cannot be the sidewalk in front of your property.
Since Dec. 1, city officials and the Coeur d'Alene Police Department have received almost 50 reports from residents about sidewalks in the city that have not been cleared of snow, according to Deputy City Administrator Sam Taylor. Businesses and residents clearing snow from the sidewalks in front of their property is not only a way for them to comply with the laws in Coeur d'Alene, but a way to prevent public safety hazards as well.
"We want people to have access to the sidewalks," Taylor said. "They need these sidewalks free of snow and ice to safely get where they're going"/Keith Cousins, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
