CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WAND) - The sidewalk snow removal ordinance has been activated in Champaign.Â
The Public Works director has declared the sidewalk snow and ice removal requirement in the Downtown, Midtown, and Campustown areas is in effect.Â
Champaign received at least two inches of snow Thursday night.Â
The city ordinance requires sidewalks to be cleared 24 hours after the Public Work director's declaration to keep pedestrians safe.Â
The period for compliance started at 9 a.m. Friday. Sidewalks must be cleared by 9 a.m. Saturday.Â
Sidewalks have to maintain a path the width of the sidewalk or 48 inches, whichever is less. If an owner has property at a corner, the ramps must also be cleared to maintain a path from block to block.Â
Sidewalks not in compliance could be cleared by the City at the owner's expense.Â
