A working group including community advocates and city staff will likely take the next year to study details of launching a municipal sidewalk snowplow pilot program before reporting some of their findings back in the first half of 2024. 

Members of the City Council Committee on Pedestrian and Traffic Safety on Friday approved an ordinance (O2023-2104) introduced by Ald. Gilbert Villegas (36) that would create the working group and set parameters for its work on researching the proposed city-run sidewalk plowing program. The City Council will take a final vote on the proposal Wednesday.
