Public sidewalk cleared to a Rochester, MN front door after snow

The walk is on the house plan. The city wants it clear in 24 hours.

That 24-hour clock is the city's.

Rochester Code of Ordinances Section 9-6-2 requires property owners with a public sidewalk to remove snow and ice within 24 hours after a snowfall. The city determines when snowfall ended from the National Weather Service station at Rochester International Airport. We did not write that rule. Read it on the City of Rochester sidewalk snow removal page.

What the city lists as Do: full sidewalk width, pedestrian ramps, and snow blocking hydrants or catch basins. Ice to bare pavement, or treat with sand, sawdust, or similar. Don't: shovel or plow snow into the street (the city fines that). Enforcement is complaint-driven through 311. Residential citations are $40, then $60, then $120. Details live on the city page, not here.

SnowSota puts the walks on the residential plan with complimentary salt so you are not on the shovel for that window. A driveway-only seasonal contract leaves the walk to you. Rochester Snow does not clear sidewalks. The driveway and the walks are the same monthly visit.

The ridge the city plow leaves at the driveway mouth is not the sidewalk. That pile is extra. City plow driveway berm. City limits: 55901 northwest, 55902 Mayo / southwest, 55904 southeast, 55906 northeast.
