Please note - as of Feburary 5th 2014, all the public sidewalks within the city are cleared by the city of Isanti Public Works Department. They are cleared on a primary or secondary schedule given the streets have been cleared.  Further removal of nuisance ice and/or snow on that sidewalk shall be the responsibility of the adjacent property owner and shall be removed within 48 hours from the date of notification by the City.
