A.   All owners or occupants of property within the limits of the Town, which property is used for commercial or industrial purposes, shall remove or cause to be removed the snow and ice from the sidewalks adjacent to such property within twenty-four (24) hours after ice has formed or snow has ceased to fall.  If the ice or snow forms or falls during the night or on a Sunday, it shall be removed by noon the following day.  Sand or other abrasives may be applied to ice to establish traction if removal is not feasible.
