With the Seasons different ordinances are effected.  The most abused ordinances during the winter months are:

• Sec. 19-189. - Duty of owner or occupant of property abutting a public sidewalk; exception.

Basically what we are called about, is people clearing out their driveway and pushing the snow into the street.

If there is a ground level patio door and/or entrance door, there must be access to the outside, and a shoveled walk way.

Also 5-643 Driveways and sidewalks: All sidewalks, steps, porches, driveways and parking spaces shall be maintained in good repair and in such condition as not to pose a hazard to public health and safety.

On June 1, 2010 the Wisconsin Legislature published laws that allow ATVs to be used on roadways for the purpose of snow removal if they have a snow removal device attached.
