City crews are cautious when removing snow from streets, and it is important for residents to know that obstructions—such as vehicles parked on the road— could prevent streets from being cleared. Here are some things residents can do to assist crews in their efforts to service streets:
1. Don’t park on the street. If the forecast calls for snow, arrange for off-street parking. You should especially avoid parking on the street when another car is parked across from yours on the other side of the street.
2. Don’t shovel driveway snow onto streets. Residents are responsible for clearing their driveways, sidewalks, and the area around their mailboxes. To avoid having snow redistributed onto your driveway when City snow plows arrive, you should shovel driveway snow to the sides of your driveway.
3. Cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets are difficult to plow and sometimes lack adequate space for snow piling. To give crews the best opportunity to maneuver around cul-de-sacs and down dead-end streets, residents who live on such streets should avoid parking on the street when snow or ice is in the weather forecast.
4. Be cautious around plow trucks.Plow trucks are – or can sometimes carry – heavy equipment. Motorists who share the streets with plow trucks in inclement weather should drive slow, be mindful of traffic signals and stop signs, and allow extra space between vehicles.
