Boulevard tidiness up to property owners to maintain: City of Melfort
The City of Melfort is reminding residents the boulevard around their property is their responsibility.
That means the homeowners are responsible for mowing the lawn on boulevards.
“Some of the things [property owners] are required to do is they need to keep the grass and weeds on the boulevard trimmed,” Director of Development, Planning and Community Relations Brent Lutz told northeastNOW. “They need to keep it tidy, including the sidewalk free of brush and weeds and litter.”
Shrubs on the boulevard cannot be taller than a half-metre, or one and a half feet tall, so people can get in and out of vehicles. Property owners are also required to ensure there is clearance between any shrubs and fire hydrants located on the boulevard.
