DPW Snow Storm Tips

The Department of Public Works has listed some storm tips for a stress-free snow cleanup. Following these simple guidelines will help ensure snow and ice free roads and ample parking spaces after the storm.

  • The Public Works plow drivers must push all snow to the curb. As a result your driveway aprons are sure to be blocked by the pushed snow.
  • Please understand that we take no delight in doing this but again, we must push all snow to the curb.
  • Wherever possible, please remove all parked vehicles from the street.
  • During the storm the plows must keep all streets open for Police, Fire, Ambulances and OEM personnel.
  • The plows will be on every street – you must be patient.
  • Please remove all cars from designated Snow Emergency Streets to avoid being towed.
  • Do NOT blow or shovel snow into the street. This causes ice mounds that will survive long after the storm has passed.
  • Do NOT save your parking space with personal items or garbage cans.
  • Resident cooperation is essential!
