The City Of Superior has implemented a brand new Sidewalk Snow Removal Route that's beginning this winter. The snow removal program is designed to help get kids safe routes to walk to schools and also helps with neighborhood connectivity.

When Does The City Clear Sidewalk Snow?

If it snows more than 2 inches with a storm, the city of Superior will deploy its equipment to clear the designated route. This is the priority route and no other snow clearing of sidewalks will be offered.

Property Owners Still Responsible For Clearing Sidewalks In Front Of Property

The city still says property owners are responsible for clearing the city sidewalk in front of their property along with any adjacent sidewalks. If their sidewalk happens to be on the designated Sidewalk Snow Removal Route and it snows less than 2 inches, they will still need to clear the snow.
