Urbana mayor's proposal for snow removal changes

URBANA – A proposed sidewalk snow removal ordinance, set to be considered by the city council later this month, won't require residents to shovel sidewalks in front of their homes.

Instead, the city will stress voluntary and educational efforts to encourage people to clear their sidewalks, according to Mayor Laurel Prussing.
