Tom Laffin - Town Councilor

A massive special thanks to our Public Work crews who worked tirelessly to to get the streets cleared up from the snow storm - and to all of you, who have been so patient while it happens - and Mayor Cervoni has declared a little more time to get the side walks cleared.

📢 SIDEWALK SNOW REMOVAL DEADLINE EXTENDED ❄️

Due to the significant snow event impacting our area, and by order of the Mayor, the time to comply with the Town’s sidewalk snow removal ordinance has been extended from 18 hours to 36 hours to allow residents and property owners additional time for safe and thorough cleanup.

For reference, the governing ordinance is cited in its entirety below:

📖 Ordinance 198-11 – Snow and Ice Removal

"The owner or occupant of any property adjoining any public sidewalk in the Town shall cause to be removed therefrom any snow, sleet and/or ice within 18 hours after the cessation of any fall of snow or accumulation of sleet/ice thereon or within 18 hours after sunrise when the same has fallen in the nighttime. If the snow, sleet or ice cannot be entirely removed, the owner or occupant shall remove so much thereof as is reasonably possible and shall cover the sidewalk with sand or other suitable substance thereby making the sidewalk safe for public travel. The removal and/or sanding shall be sufficient to clear a safe path at least three feet in width along the entire length of the sidewalk."

➡️ Due to this storm, compliance is now required within 36 hours.

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in keeping our sidewalks safe and accessible for pedestrians, including children walking to school, seniors, and individuals with disabilities.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep Wallingford safe.
