BOSTON (WHDH) - Governor Charlie Baker signed a bill on Tuesday that paved the way for Boston to raise fees for snow removal.

The bill will increase the maximum penalty in Boston for un-shoveled sidewalks or snow pushed into the streets to $1,500.

Mayor Marty Walsh and the City Council will have to vote on how new fines are implemented.

The fines only apply to residential buildings with more than six units.
