A.
No person shall drive or operate any vehicle along
any public sidewalk or footpath in the Village intended for the use
of pedestrians.
B.
This section shall not apply to the riding or operating
of carriages, tricycles, skateboards, roller skates, in-line skates,
bicycles or means of locomotion usually employed by those persons
who are physically disabled, nor to the mechanical conveyances of
infants or children, provided that they are accompanied by adults.
[Amended 5-16-1996 by L.L. No. 3-1996]
A.
No owner or occupant of land adjoining a sidewalk
in the Village shall permit any dirt or other obstruction or encumbrance
to remain on the sidewalk adjoining said premises, nor shall any person
permit any shrubbery, awnings, signs or other obstructions or encumbrances
so to project over the sidewalk as to interfere with the free passage
of pedestrians over the full width thereof.
[Amended 5-16-1996 by L.L. No. 3-1996]
B.
In removing snow or ice from the sidewalk, no person
shall put the same in the gutter or drain of the street except in
those places where there is no space between the sidewalk and curb
or gutter suitable for disposing of such snow or ice.
C.
It shall be the duty of every owner or occupant of
land adjoining any sidewalk in the Village to remove snow or ice from
the sidewalk within 24 hours after the fall or accumulation thereof.
[Amended 9-15-1988 by L.L. No. 7-1988]
D.
In every case in which snow or ice is not promptly
or properly removed or when the gutter is obstructed, the Superintendent
of Public Works may cause the sidewalk to be cleared, and/or the Building
Inspector may issue a summons for violation of this article. In the
case of the Superintendent of Highways causing the sidewalk to be
cleared, the expense of such clearance and removal shall thereupon
become a lien upon such adjoining land, to be enforced and collected
in the manner provided by law. If the Board of Trustees has not appointed
an individual to act as Superintendent of Highways, the Superintendent's
duties shall be carried out by the Chairman of the Public Works Committee.

Any person committing an offense against any
provision of this article shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a violation
pursuant to the Penal Law of the State of New York, punishable by
a fine not exceeding $250 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding
15 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment. The continuance of
an offense for each day (24 hours) shall be deemed a distinct and
separate violation.
