Darien Police Department is reminding property owners with land abutting sidewalks that, by town ordinance, they need to remove snow and ice from it. Here’s the announcement, released on Friday:
The Town of Darien Snow Removal Ordinance (Sec. 66-5) requires the owners of property abutting sidewalks to remove snow and ice from their sidewalks. The ordinance requires that this must be done “within 24 hours of the snow or ice being formed or having been deposited upon the abutting sidewalk.” The fine under the ordinance is $90.00 per day that the condition persists. As always, we try to take a reasonable and common sense approach to the enforcing of this ordinance.
