Residents who remove snow from their driveways are reminded that CBJ ordinances prohibit placing snow or ice on any public street, sidewalk or parking space in a manner that impedes vehicle or pedestrian traffic or makes it unsafe. Snow should not be stacked over ends of culverts or drainage structures. Rapid warming cycles could result in overloaded ditches being unable to drain, and result in local flooding for which you could be held liable. Snow removal operations require the use of large, heavy, noisy equipment during periods of darkness and limited visibility caused by falling snow. Our operators are carefully trained.
Safety is stressed at all times.
Children love to watch snow removal operations. The large equipment, noise, lights and activity can be very exciting. Although we're glad to have people watch, everyone should be cautioned to stay a safe distance away. The concentration required for efficient snow-removal, combined with the noise and type of equipment used means that operators may not always be able to see small children close by and accidents could result.
