Safe Sidewalks

Keeping Sidewalks Safe

Please help maintain a safe environment for Flagstaff pedestrians by cleaning the public sidewalks that border your property. Clean sidewalks are a health and safety benefit and positively impact the appearance of our community.

Snow from the sidewalks cannot be thrown into the street. Help your neighbors and assist those who are unable to clear their sidewalks.
