Glasgow Removal of Snow and Ice from Sidewalks; Distribution of Handbills, Etc ordinance (§ 210.2250)

Chapter 210: Offenses · Article XV. Miscellaneous Offenses

In short: Owners and occupants must clear snow and ice from the sidewalk directly in front of their property; failing to do so is a violation with a fine of $1.00 to $100.00. Handing out or delivering free handbills, ads, newspapers or other printed matter house to house or person to person in city limits is also a violation.
