As winter blankets the town of Hanna, residents need to prioritize the timely removal of snow and ice from their property. The Town of Hanna’s regulations, particularly outlined in Section 7.1 of Bylaw #947-2009, emphasize the responsibility of property owners to clear sidewalks adjacent to their premises promptly.
Remember, residents are to refrain from moving snow and ice onto the streets or public property while clearing their sidewalks and driveways. Also, laying power cords across public sidewalks is strictly prohibited.
Off-road vehicles wider than sidewalks are strongly discouraged to prevent property damage to private property and infrastructure issues. Residents are urged to use equipment specifically designed for sidewalk maintenance, such as snow blowers and shovels.
Residents need to remember that receiving a notice at their door regarding snow removal is a friendly reminder, not a ticket.
Finally, an online “Report a Concern” form offers residents a convenient means to address any issues or concerns related to snow and ice removal. In conclusion, snow and ice removal in Hanna, Alberta, is not merely a matter of compliance but a shared responsibility for community safety and well-being. By adhering to town regulations and adopting proper snow removal practices, residents contribute to creating a safer and more accessible environment for all.
