Northern Indiana city repeals sidewalk snow-clearing mandate
ELKHART, Ind. — A northern Indiana city has repealed an ordinance that required homeowners to clear snow from the sidewalks in front of their homes.
The Elkhart City Council rescinded the snow-clearing requirement Monday, weeks after questions were raised about the provision’s legality.
Property owners had been required to clear snow within 24 hours of the end of a storm and faced fines of up to $25 for failing to do so.
