Crews fight to clear streets; Champaign eases shoveling rule
Property owners in downtown Champaign and in the University District are getting a break as far as enforcement of a city ordinance requiring that sidewalks must be shoveled.
The city ordinance requires that sidewalks must be cleared within 48 hours after the city's public works Director Dennis Schmidt makes a declaration. But city council members indicated when the ordinance was approved last year that they didn't want the 48 hours to be in effect over the weekend, in case property owners were out of town.
