The Indianola City Council approved a change in the snow removal policy for the city at their meeting Monday evening, changing the time frame residents have to clear sidewalks of snow, ice, or other accumulations from 72 hours to 48 hours. City Manager Ryan Waller tells KNIA News the change in policy is in accordance with other cities similar to Indianola.

“After a snowfall event, residents have 48 hours to clear the snow. It’s more in line with other communities in the area, Indianola was the only city to have a 72 hour window to clear the snow from the sidewalks. The policy for the City of Indianola to maintain the streets and city owned properties is held at a higher standard, which is to have snow cleared 12-24 hours after an event.”
