To help our operators perform their plowing duties in a safe and efficient manner, we ask that residents park elsewhere when snow begins to accumulate. Equipment operators may work 12 hours or more in a shift, and appreciate courteous and friendly drivers and pedestrians. Please help them help you. When residents fail to clear their sidewalks, the result can be a treacherous ice patch. We need your help in protecting pedestrians from possible injury.
Residents are responsible to maintain their sidewalks and driveways adjacent to their property.
Please pile the snow on your yard, not in the street. If your sidewalk is icy, you may correct the hazard by applying a heavy coat of sand. A helpful hint for residents on snow routes, clear your sidewalk after the snowplows have finished plowing your street. Handicapped, elderly or other individuals unable to clear snow from their sidewalks may choose to contact someone to do this job for them. The City maintains a list of individuals and organizations who will provide this service.
