    Am I understanding correctly that contrary to popular belief, sidewalk snow clearing is the municipality’s responsibility?

      Correct, it is the municipalities’ responsibility, the home owner bit is some “don’t block the sidewalk more heme clearing your own drive/walkway”

      Why would the sidewalk be a homeowner responsibility?

      Are homeowners required to clear the street in front of their property?
