Local laws govern the maintenance of sidewalks, assessments for repair of sidewalks, prohibition of bicycling and skating on sidewalks, and regulation of sidewalk vendors.
Statutes and ordinances, which vary by locality, require that the sidewalks be kept free from hazards to pedestrians, such as snow, ice and trip factors. Responsibility for safe maintenance of sidewalks is usually on the owner of the property adjacent to the sidewalk.
