City reminding people to clear sidewalks
Spokane Valley residents are being reminded that it’s their responsibility to shovel snow from sidewalks adjacent to their property.
The city says local ordinances require that sidewalks be clear of snow and ice within a reasonable amount of time, and violators could face $500 fines.
The goal is to make sure that school children and others have safe places to walk during the winter rather than competing with cars and trucks for space on roadways.
