Sarnia has issued a warning to commercial property owners who fail to clear snow from abutting sidewalks.
In some cases, businesses have been clearing their lots and dumping the snow on sidewalks, creating an even bigger safety hazard.
Letters have been delivered to operators in the downtown area and other commercial businesses reminding them of their obligation to clear sidewalks within four hours of a snowfall.
The city said it will take action for those who don’t and send them the bill.
