As Central Oregon is still thawing out from “Snow-Maggeden 2019”, City of Bend officials said Wednesday it’s important to remember you’re also responsible for your property’s sidewalks, when it comes to shoveling.

If you forget about them, you could get a warning and have to pay a major fine.

The city’s Code Enforcement Department will send out a warning letter if someone complains about a business or resident’s sidewalk not having a clear, safe path.

Technically, after a snowstorm, city Code Enforcement gives businesses six hours after sunrise and residents 24 hours to clear off their sidewalks.
