KNOW THE TOWNSHIP SNOW REMOVAL LAWS

Township ordinances require that snow be removed from sidewalks within 24 hours of the last snowfall.

See the related ordinances below:


   

Removal from sidewalks required. 

The owner, occupant or tenant of premises abutting or bordering on any street in the Township of Maplewood shall remove all snow and ice from the abutting sidewalks of such street or the abutting right-of-way actually used by the public within 24 hours from the end of every snowfall or hail or after the formation of ice upon the sidewalks or abutting right-of-way. In the event of ice which may be so frozen as to make removal impractical, the ice shall be thoroughly covered with sand or salt within 24 hours from the end of every fall of snow, or hail, or after the formation of ice upon the sidewalks or abutting right-of-way so as to protect against falls.

 

Deposit in plowed streets unlawful. 
No owner or tenant of any lands abutting upon any public highway of this municipality or agent, employee, servant or contractor of such owner or tenant or person shall throw, place, plow or deposit any snow or ice into or upon any traveled area of the street or road that has already been plowed.
