Delano's Central Valley climate means snow on sidewalks is essentially nonexistent. Sidewalk obstruction by vegetation, debris, or merchandise is addressed under general nuisance authority.
Property owners are responsible for keeping sidewalks fronting their property free of obstructions per California Streets & Highways Code §5610, which makes the abutting owner liable for sidewalk repair and maintenance. Vegetation overgrowth into the public way is a code enforcement issue.
Notice-and-repair process under Streets & Highways §5610; failure to repair allows the City to do the work and lien the property.
