Champaign orders property owners to clear sidewalks

CHAMPAIGN – Property owners in the Campustown and downtown districts need to clear their sidewalks of ice by 3 p.m. Friday or run the risk of getting a big city bill in the mail.

City Public Works Director Dennis Schmidt declared that the city's sidewalk snow and ice removal requirements for the Campus District and downtown were in effect at 3 p.m. Wednesday. That declaration gives property owners 48 hours to clear their sidewalks.
