Snow and Ice Removal
In order to provide safe passage to pedestrians, sidewalks must be kept clear of snow and ice. Property owners are responsible for removing snow from sidewalks by 11:00 a.m. each day. When snow continues to fall during the day after that time, then additional efforts should be made. Sometimes sprinkling the sidewalk with salt, ashes, sawdust or sand can help maintain safe footing. Specific information on this topic can be found in the
Snow and Ice Removal section of the City of Lodi Ordinances.
Snow Emergency & Parking Regulations
When a snow emergency is declared, the city makes every effort to clear snow away to maintain traffic flow. In order to accomplish this, drivers are asked to refrain from parking in streets or public alleys until the plows have come through. Specific information on this topic can be found in the
Snow Emergency section of the City of Lodi Ordinances.
