WHY SHOVELING YOUR SIDEWALK MATTERS IN PRINCETON
Winter in Princeton brings picturesque snowfall, but with it comes the responsibility of keeping sidewalks clear. Shoveling your sidewalk isn’t just a courtesy—it’s essential for safety and accessibility.
Uncleared sidewalks create hazards for pedestrians, especially children walking to school, elderly residents, and individuals with mobility challenges. Ice and packed snow increase the risk of slips and falls, which can lead to serious injuries. Keeping sidewalks clear ensures that everyone, including mail carriers and delivery workers, can navigate the town safely.
Beyond safety, Princeton has local ordinances requiring property owners to clear snow within a certain timeframe. Failing to do so can result in fines, and more importantly, it shows disregard for your neighbors.
Taking the time to shovel is a simple way to contribute to the well-being of the community. So, grab your shovel, help your neighbors if needed, and keep Princeton walkable for everyone this winter!
