Public Sidewalk Snow Clearing Update

posted 

Good morning,

Today’s snowfall has ended. All snow from this event must be cleared from public sidewalks by tomorrow, Monday, December 8, 2025, at 12:00 PM (noon).

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.

Please remember that public sidewalks including curb-ramps -if any- 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.

Please also consider helping neighbors who may have difficulty removing the accumulated snow. A small effort can make a big difference in keeping our community safe and accessible.

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!
