As city crews continue to dig out public parking lots after last week’s historic snowstorm, Sturgeon Bay officials are asking private property owners to do their part as well.

Sturgeon Bay was among the communities in the state that received the most snow from last week’s blizzard, with more than 33 inches. Combined with high winds and cars parked in inconvenient locations, Municipal Services Director Mike Barker says cleanup is extending into this week.

Like many municipalities across the state, Sturgeon Bay gives residents 24 hours to clear their sidewalks following a snowfall, whether it’s an inch or two or several feet.

Barker says that window would have been unrealistic given the amount of snow that fell between Saturday night and Monday afternoon. Now that a week has passed, he says it is time to clear the remaining snow so pedestrians can safely navigate city sidewalks, especially children walking to school.

Beginning Wednesday, Barker says the city will focus enforcement of snow removal ordinances in the downtown area and along routes to schools.

Officials say they will give grace to those making an honest effort to remove the snow, but otherwise it will cost $150 for the city to clear it.
