BG reminds residents on snow regulations

0

With snow in the forecast, the City of Bowling Green reminds citizens of responsibilities and
regulations associated with winter weather.Under the city’s Codified Ordinances, Bowling Green property
owners are required to clear snow and ice from sidewalks abutting their premises within 24 hours after the
abatement of any storm during which snow and ice have accumulated. Failure to clear sidewalks may result in
a citation. The city may also have its contractor clear the sidewalk and bill all incurred costs to the
property owner.The city has several designated "Snow Streets." These streets are marked with blue
and white signs. A list of streets is also available on the city’s website at www.bgohio.org.Any vehicle
parked on a snow street must be removed within two hours after accumulation of two inches of snow. Vehicles
parked in violation of snow regulations are subject to towing at owner’s expense and/or a citation. Even if
you don’t live on a snow street, it is very helpful to remove vehicles from the street whenever possible.
Doing so will expedite the road snow removal process.Citizens and plowing contractors should not shovel,
plow, or blow snow onto the city streets when clearing snow from sidewalks and driveways. This delays the
process of clearing city streets and is prohibited.
