*    Why accessible snow removal is important to create safer, more accessible communities, support people's safety and independence, and avoid costly lawsuits, 

*    Legal obligations for municipalities, businesses, homeowners, and renters, 

*    Rules for adequate snow removal, including width requirements for clear paths of travel (36 inches!), 

*    What to do if you can't shovel snow because of your disability, whether you're a business owner, homeowner, or renter, 

*    Accessibility violations in snow removal: Who to contact, what to say, and what to expect when getting them resolved, and 

*    Best practices for snow removal and accessibility for municipalities, businesses, homeowners, renters, and drivers. 

We all have a role to play in keeping our communities safe and accessible this winter.  <https://bcm4toyab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001J4n6D11srT7tma9lyWqMM_Z0fD2lwr5cgcnLpFHAucwGWd4H6gg1SPG5KO2fQjoTzCHuPfQxt3ARbMNw3gesp9eIGwupWJgDDni4FbTneiVuDaldGbm8vBMgVLUo-YESWywcyQ9ffzf6UNKXxTShtbOXbmpS9JvlbGD4pQWrQyrPsHaow3Tc4MPKE5-0nusqZgVD0tYAcduVeYrKCe-r-Cr_XlyuZ5zfy0H2_ZhyNR0=&c=Tu5b4mvAhgblHK9Qp-PJqcZDMMlFTa2qfjLkuJu2bak5G_VjiOn3YQ==&ch=z4EVLC9bPwGNO9la3lnY0tD5O5EBpK3p3dQs9JL-qcpRhxALQlnh_w==> Read the guidance so you can be prepared for the next snowfall.
