Anytime a winter storm occurs, residents need to make sure their sidewalks are cleared of
snow after each storm.

If the storm ends between the hours of 3 a.m. and 9 p.m. all sidewalks must be cleared within 12 hours. If the storm ends between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. all sidewalks must be cleared within nine hours per City of Bristol ordinance 21-23.

Uncleared sidewalks may be reported to Public Works, who will clear the sidewalks and charge the cost to the property owner. The fine for violating this ordinance is $75 for each offense.
