The weather forecast is indicating the potential of snow for Saturday, December 9th. Residents are reminded of the Department of Public Works Snow Operation & Emergency Plan.
Please pay attention to the forecast and should it be necessary to plow the roadways, residents are required to remove vehicles from any Emergency Street.
DPW’s snow operation and emergency plan for winter related events: To properly snow plow streets from curb to curb, residents are asked to remove all vehicles from the streets. On “Emergency Streets” (posted with signs indicating “No Parking When Road is Snow Covered Tow Away Zone”), residents are required to remove all vehicles from the roadway once the snow begins to fall. Failure to remove a vehicle from an “Emergency Street” will result in a traffic summons and the vehicle being towed. The Snow Emergency Plan will be dependent upon the nature of the storm. Roads are pre-treated or treated as soon as snow begins to accumulate. The plowing operation does not start until an accumulation of two to three inches of snow. Emergency Streets and main arteries are done first with one to two passes performed on each street during the storm. Curb to curb snow plowing is performed once the storm is over. When curbing the streets, snow may be redistributed across a cleared driveway. This is unavoidable and it is suggested to residents that cleaning out the end of a driveway be done after streets are fully curbed. In accordance with Ordinance #2017-1181, residents are to refrain from putting snow into the streets; this is not permissible and creates a safety hazard.
