CLEARING SIDEWALKS IN THE VILLAGE

If you live and/or own property in the Village of Hamburg please make every effort to clear your sidewalk this winter.  While the Village does plow sidewalks as time allows (schools and business district first), property owners are responsible for snow and ice removal (Village Code Section 203-26). 
 
Also, if you hire a contractor to plow your property, they must get a permit from the Village.  Let them know that snow cannot be pushed across the street or onto the sidewalks.  The Snow Plow Permit application and information can be found here
