Sidewalk Snow Removal
A Partnership between the Village of East Aurora and it residents.
The property owner's responsibility: Chapter 223 of the Village Code states that property owners are responsible to maintain and repair sidewalks adjoining their land, and are responsible for removing snow, ice and other obstructions.
The Village's responsibility: The Village of East Aurora provides supplemental service to help property owners clear their sidewalks during a winter storm. Following a significant snow storm, when the snow is at least 3” deep, and after we have plowed the streets, we will attempt to clear as many sidewalks as possible as a public service. If we receive notice of a dangerous or hazardous sidewalk, we will contact the property owner to remedy or repair. If nothing is done, we will make the repair and bill the cost back to the property owner.
Sidewalk Snowplowing Facts
- The village begins plowing sidewalks once new snowfall exceeds 3".
- The village plows all sidewalks that are at least four (4) feet in width.
- The village plows 54 miles of sidewalk.
- The sidewalk plow run takes about 6-7 hours to complete the entire village.
- Depending on the severity of the storm, the sidewalk snow plowing policy may be altered to meet the needs of the situation.
- Sidewalk plowing usually happens in the early morning or in the evening when pedestrian traffic is lowest; however, this schedule may be modified to respond to actual storm conditions.
