Sidewalk Clearing Update

The snowstorm has ended. The snow that began Thursday December 19 and continued into the early morning of Friday, December 20 should be cleared from public sidewalks by 12:00 PM (noon) on Saturday, December 21.

It’s important to remove the snow quickly. The forecast shows temperatures will be above and below freezing in the coming days. Don’t rely on the temperature to keep sidewalks clear of snow and ice.

If there’s any ice left on the sidewalk that you can’t remove, spread sand or another safe material to provide traction. Please help your neighbors who may have trouble clearing the snow. Be patient when removing the snow and take breaks.

Free sand for residents is available at several locations around Madison to keep sidewalks safe.

Visit our City Winter Sidewalks website for more information and learn more about snow removal best practices and frequent asking question (FAQs).

Thank you for helping to keep our sidewalks safe!
