Snow Removal Effort

Many residents begin shoveling out vehicles along our streets, only to be plowed in again. When you shovel, please refrain from shoveling snow into the street and avoid placing snow where it will be plowed into your neighbor’s driveway. Please be patient and wait for the City crews to finish clearing the roads. Our crews work through the night when necessary.  

TIPS TO ASSIST IN THE SNOW REMOVAL EFFORT

Please shovel the sidewalks in front of your home.

If you live on a corner, please shovel an opening from the sidewalk to the street so strollers and wheelchairs have sidewalk access.

Don’t shovel or blow your snow onto the street.

If you hire a private snow removal company, be sure they do not deposit snow on public property.

Clear a space for trash cans so sanitation workers can access them.

Remove portable basketball nets from the street.

If you have a storm drain near your home, keep it clear of snow, ice and debris so that melting snow will be able to drain.

Clear away snow and ice from fire hydrants so the fire department can access them in the event of an emergency.

Please refrain from parking within 15 feet of intersections to allow for plows to make the turn.

Whenever possible, please stay off the roads during a Snow Emergency to permit ease of plowing operations and lessen dangerous conditions for all.

Thank You for your cooperation.
