sidewalk clearing

Snow removal chore

Sidewalk clearing is the removal of snow, ice, or debris from a paved walkway.

Many municipalities require property owners to clear adjacent sidewalks within a set time after snowfall: The city fines homeowners who neglect sidewalk clearing.

The task may involve shoveling, salting, or using a snowblower.
