Public Sidewalk Snow Clearing Update

Hello,

The radar and forecast indicate that the current snowfall (estimated at around 1 inch or less) will end tonight.

All snow from this event must be cleared from public sidewalks by 12:00 PM (noon) on Tuesday, December 2, 2025.

Prompt snow removal is essential to ensure the safety of everyone using public sidewalks. With temperatures expected to remain below freezing, the snow will not melt on its own. We also encourage you to assist neighbors who may have difficulty clearing snow or ice.

Please remember that public sidewalks must be kept free of snow and ice, regardless of the source of the accumulation. If any ice remains that you cannot remove, please apply sand or another safe traction material.

Free sand for residents is available at several locations around Madison to keep sidewalks safe.

Visit our City Winter Sidewalks website for more information and to learn about snow removal best practices and frequent asking question (FAQs).

Thank you for helping to keep our sidewalks safe!
