Snow removal in Ithaca, NY
Book local snow removal in Ithaca
Ithaca sits at the south end of Cayuga Lake, with steep hills rising from downtown toward Cornell, Ithaca College and neighborhoods like South Hill and West Hill. Many homes are older houses and rentals with narrow driveways, steps and sidewalks on a slope. The City of Ithaca expects owners to clear the full paved width of the sidewalk, and it can bill owners who do not.
