Local Snow Facts: Cochrane
Sidewalks. The Town of Cochrane requires anyone who owns or occupies land to keep adjacent sidewalks clear of snow and ice, cleared within 48 hours of the last snowfall ending (Community Standards and Public Safety Bylaw 06/2025, section 6.1). The Town clears sidewalks next to Town buildings, parks and public schools, not residential sidewalks.
Snow on the road. Anyone removing snow from public or private sidewalks or driveways may not deposit it on any highway, pathway or walkway, or block storm sewer grates, traffic control devices or hydrants (Bylaw 06/2025, section 6.3).
Municipal rules and service levels change. Confirm the current bylaw with the municipality before relying on it.
