"Know Snow": City Snow Regulations
With the season's first major snowfall having occurred, it is important to remember the City of Boston's snow removal policies.
All property owners are required to remove snow, slush, and ice from their sidewalks and abutting curb ramps within 3 hours of the end of a snowfall. Violators will be fined. Contact the City at 617-635-4500 for additional information.
Downtown Boston BID Ambassadors carry out a variety of services following snowstorms: shoveling handicap ramps & crosswalks, salting & sanding, clearing catch basins of snow & ice, and removing snow from public plazas. BID members can contact 617-261-0066 if they have any questions regarding BID snow-related services.
