The City of Centennial recognizes that other municipalities have opted to implement a punitive ordinance requiring sidewalk snow removal including assessment of fines for noncompliance. After consideration of such an ordinance the City decided to first encourage residents and businesses to be good neighbors through a Snow Hero initiative. The City believes encouraging voluntary compliance will be more successful and effective than a punitive ordinance.  The Snow Hero Initiative recognizes residents, businesses and neighborhoods that help keep our City safe by removing snow and ice from sidewalks and other pathways.
