Heavy weather hitting sidewalks hard

BELLEVILLE – With lots of snow and freezing rain this winter, city streets have been a mess – but sidewalks have been just as bad.

When the heavy precipitation comes, some sidewalks are not being cleared off, making for an adventurous hike for pedestrians.

Belleville has no bylaw stating that property-owners are responsible for cleaning their sidewalks. It is up to the city to keep them clear.
