Blocked driveways
Snow that accumulates on the plow blade has no place to go but in the road right-of-way, which includes approaches to driveways. Many times, snowplowing forms snow piles in front of driveways, which may create hardships for some residents. Unfortunately, the City possesses neither the personnel nor the equipment to clear the thousands of driveway approaches within the city. Because of this, snow removal of driveway approaches is the resident’s responsibility.
When clearing driveways, the snow should be placed on lawn areas or park strips (do not cover fire hydrants). This will minimize snow accumulation in drive approach areas during snow plowing operations. Putting the snow in the street can cause delays in snow removal as well as damage to personal property.
