You Ask...Patch Answers: Who is Supposed to Shovel the Sidewalk?

We were curious about the town's rules related to sidewalk-shoveling after a snowstorm.

Patch readers have asked us the following question: "Who is responsible for clearing the sidewalks in town after a snowstorm?"

The answer: According to Dedham Director of Public WorksJoe Flanagan, "There are no specific guidelines. The Town plows school routes and commuter routes and continues this daily. We try to accomodate all requests for sidewalks to be cleared."
