Snow & Ice Removal
The Oak Creek Police Department, along with the DPW Street Division, would like to remind everyone about their responsibilities regarding snow and ice removal.
Removal Requirements.
In accordance with Section 6.24 of the City of Oak Creek Municipal Code, it is the responsibility of the owner or occupant of any property abutting or fronting a public sidewalk to remove and clear away all snow and ice to the full paved width of such sidewalk within twenty-four (24) hours after such snow has ceased to fall or accumulate. When ice has formed on any sidewalk, such that it cannot be removed, then the person responsible shall prevent such ice from presenting a hazard to pedestrian traffic by the use of ashes, sawdust, sand, salt, or any other similar substance.
Plowing, pushing, shoveling, or snow blowing snow into the roadway, sidewalk, alley or public land is strictly prohibited.
