Are property owners required to shovel their sidewalks when it snows?

On October 24, 2016, City Council passed Council Bill No. 24-2016 (Ordinance 1611) amending the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws to add a new section entitled Removal of Snow and Ice from Sidewalks.  Under this new ordinance, sidewalks are the responsibility of the adjacent property owners.   Property owners will be required to clear walkways within 24 hours of snowfall equaling 2 inches or more.See article in Connections Newsletter
