Winter Road Maintenance
During the winter months, any obstructions to the plow trucks placed on public right-of-ways, such as rocks, fences, markers, rebar, flags, or planters should be removed immediately.
Objects on the public right-of-way may be destroyed by snowplow operations or they can do substantial damage to plow equipment. Owners of such obstructions may be at risk if equipment is unnecessarily damaged. Public works may find it necessary to remove obstructions to plow trucks. The public right-of-way may typically extend from two to three meters from the edge of blacktop and is essential for the storage of snow between snow events.
If there is a snowfall and you have a vehicle parked on the roadway, please remove it as soon as possible. If it is not moved the vehicle may be ploughed in or subject to towing. It is the owner’s responsibility to shovel it out.
Winter operations require large, heavy equipment. Our operators make every effort to minimize the amount of snow that gets plowed into driveways. However, it is inevitable that this will occur. Homeowners are responsible for removal of berms across their driveways. DO NOT PUSH THE SNOW BACK ONTO THE ROAD PLEASE.
Placing snow on public spaces in a manner that impedes pedestrian or vehicle traffic is unsafe and can cause accidents.
