Did you know that under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 State and Local governments are responsible for ensuring that public rights-of-way, including sidewalks, are accessible for people with disabilities? This includes maintaining a clear path and building accessible infrastructure.
The City of Sylvania and Sylvania Township offices receive calls annually about vehicles blocking sidewalks. Please help do your part and remember that sidewalks, just like roadways, need to be kept free and clear for all users. Thank you!!!

Keeping Rights-of-Way Clear From Obstructions
The City is obligated to keep all City road rights-of-way clear from obstructions that may impede community services such as leaf collection, snow and ice removal, school transportation, refuse collection, and emergency services. Generally speaking, as long as item are located behind the sidewalk in curbed locations, or, at least 20’ beyond the edge of pavement in non-curbed areas this should provide adequate space for these services.
