Public Sidewalks Clearing Update

Good morning,

The first snow accumulation of the season began yesterday, continued into today, and is now coming to an end. This event has produced over 9.3 inches of snowfall.

All snow from this event must be cleared from public sidewalks by 12:00 PM (noon) on Monday, December 1, 2025. Prompt removal is in everyone’s best interest. Forecasts indicate temperatures will remain below freezing for the next days, which means that delaying snow removal will make the task more difficult and keep sidewalks unsafe for a longer period.

Please remember to keep public sidewalks free of snow and ice, regardless of the source of the accumulation. If there is any ice remaining that you cannot remove, apply sand or another safe material to improve traction.

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!
