 The City of Lynn Ordinances require that all property owners remove snow and ice from their sidewalks to ensure pedestrian safety.
 

Please Note:

  • If the snow ceases falling in the daytime (7 AM-6 PM) it is your responsibility to see that the snow

accumulated on the sidewalk shall be removed within four hours.
 

  •  If the snow ceases falling in the nighttime (after 6PM) it is your responsibility to see that the snow

accumulated on the sidewalk shall be removed before 10:00 p.m. the following day.
 

  • Property Owners are responsible for making openings in snow banks between the streets and sidewalks at

crosswalks, street corners and bus stops.
 

  •  If your mailbox is erected at or near a gutter line, make sure it can withstand snow clearing

efforts. Also, the US Postal Service will not deliver mail if your walkway is not cleared.
 

  • If your home or business is on a corner, please shovel a wide opening and help pedestrians get onto the

sidewalk safely! Ask yourself if the path you cleared is wide enough for someone using a stroller or wheelchair to get through.
 

  • Please make sure that ice is also cleared or melted from the sidewalk.

     

  • If you fail to comply with the city’s sidewalk clearance ordinances or if you throw or dump snow from your

sidewalk into the street, you will be issued a fine for such violation. After an additional 24 hours, if you have not complied

with the ordinance, you will be issued an additional fine.
