Removing snow and ice keeps our sidewalks safe for walking during winter. If you are the owner or caretaker of a house, building, or lot where there is a sidewalk, you must clear a three-foot-wide path for the entire length of the sidewalk within the first 12 hours of daylight after it stops snowing. More details and the full Town code can be found on the Public Works subpage linked here.
