§ 310-25. Liability for injury to person or property., Article IV. Snow and Ice Removal, Chapter 310. Streets and Sidewalks, Part II. General Legislation, Code of Ordinances, Ridgefield

Pursuant to the provisions of Public Act No. 81-340 and notwithstanding the provisions of C.G.S. § 13a-149 or any other general statute or special act, the Town of Ridgefield shall not be liable to any person injured in person or property caused by the presence of ice or snow on a public sidewalk unless the Town of Ridgefield is the owner or person in possession and control of land abutting such sidewalk. The provisions hereof shall not relieve the Town of Ridgefield from any liability imposed by law resulting from its affirmative acts with respect to such sidewalk.

The owner or person in possession and control of land abutting a public sidewalk shall have the same duty of care with respect to the presence of ice or snow on such sidewalk toward the portion of the sidewalk abutting his property as the Town of Ridgefield had prior to the effective date hereof and shall be liable to persons injured in person or property where a breach of said duty is the proximate cause of such injury.

No action to recover damages for injury to the person or to property caused by the presence of ice or snow on a public sidewalk against the person who owns or is in possession and control of land abutting a public sidewalk shall be brought but within two years from the date when the injury is first sustained.
