Awesome, thanks! Nice to have the direct page # and everything!

So here's how we solve the dilemma: take this bylaw, replace "sidewalk" with "your residential street". Wow, problem solved.

(For those too lazy to click):

Quote:
A person may, in such a way as not to cause injury or unduly interfere with any person lawfully using the Sidewalk or Pathway, use a power driven device that is sufficiently light and of such construction that it will not damage the surface of the Sidewalk or Pathway to move ice, snow, or other materials from any portion of a Sidewalk or Pathway.
I do find the adjoining grass section disturbing, however (next point in the PDF). It claims that I'm responsible for the weeds that have grown up in the grass next to my sidewalk. However, there is literally no way to get rid of them other than to re-sod the section. The developer did a piss-poor job there and weed-and-feed is now illegal here, so all I can do is mow it and hope for the best. Clover is virtually impossible to eradicate once it gets a hold in this climate. Ah well, no one's reported me to Big Brother yet.
