General Information

Per city ordinance, Denver requires that property owners clear snow and ice from their sidewalks, including adjacent ADA ramps and bus stops, so that everyone has safe access throughout the city! Please be aware, while we encourage volunteers (Snow Angels) to help with the clearing of front sidewalks and curb cuts in front of homes, as stated in the ordinance, our volunteers with the Denver Snow Angels Program Do Not:

Remove snow in driveways or front steps

Remove down trees/branches on front walks.
