Keeping Sidewalks Clear for Passage

Just a reminder of our existing Ordinance no. 52 pertaining to public sidewalks.

All sidewalks shall be kept free and clear of  leaves, dirt and any other obstructions or substances which may cause inconvenience or injury to pedestrians.   Failure of the property owner to remove these hazards from  public sidewalks could result in a  fine.   The borough has the authority to remove such obstructions and pass associated costs and fees onto the property owner in the event the owner fails to make the required corrections.   This ordinance pertains to trees, shrubbery and other debris that could impede clear passage.
