Spokane Valley residents who don’t shovel their sidewalks this winter could see fines.

The Spokesman-Review reports residents are now required to clear snow and ice from their sidewalk within 48 hours if they get at least three inches, or face a $52 fine.

The new regulations would apply to commercially-zoned areas along major arterials and safe routes to school.
