Clearing Sidewalks
The City of Brantford clears and treats sidewalks in the downtown business district and any sidewalks that are in front of any City-owned property, which includes our parks, facilities, bridges, signalized intersections and pedestrian crossings.
It is the responsibility of the property owner and occupants to clear snow and ice within 24 hours after the end of a snow event to ensure the safety of everyone in our community. Please see the City's Municipal Code articles 614.8.1 and 614.8.3, for more information.
Sidewalk Clearing Notice
If you do not clear your sidewalk of snow and ice within 24 hours after the end of a snow event you may receive a Sidewalk Clearing Notice.
The notice provides you 24 hours from the time it was issued to clear your sidewalk of snow and ice.
Failure to clear your sidewalk of snow and ice after receiving a Sidewalk Clearing Notice will result in the City of Brantford clearing the sidewalk of snow and ice and the property owner being invoiced as per the City of Brantford Fees and Charges By-law.
