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!
