Champaign Sidewalk Snow Removal Ordinance Goes Into Effect December 26th

Once again, the city of Champaign has declared its sidewalk snow and ice removal requirement will be in effect as of Sunday, December 26th at 8 AM.

With the National Weather Service reporting 4-point-4 inches of snow accumulation in Champaign-Urbana over the Christmas weekend, the city of Champaign is giving property owners in its downtown and Campustown areas 48 hours to clear all ice and snow from their sidewalks. Sidewalks that are not cleared by Tuesday, December 28th at 8 AM, could be cleared by the City as the owner's expense.

Champaign's city code allows for the implementation of the sidewalk snow and ice removal requirement whenever accumulated snowfall reaches two inches or more.
