There's some good information there, including <a href="http://www.cmap.illinois.gov/uploadedFiles/planning_activities/transportation/bikeped/plan/SidewalkSnowClearance.pdf" rel="nofollow">this link to CMAP</a> (PDF) which is the results of a survey to see which cities have laws about shoveling. The survey only happened on the web, but they found information for 197 of 272 municipalities. The researchers found that a "regulation requiring all property owners or occupants to clear snow from public sidewalks abutting property" applied to 3,243,395 residents in Northeastern Illinois.
