RESPONSIBILITY OF RESIDENTS <br />Snowstorms create numerous problems and inconveniences. This policy has identified streets, <br />sidewalks, parking lots and ice rinks that the City will clear. The residents will also have certain <br />responsibilities. These include clearing their own driveways and private sidewalks, clearing <br />areas for refuse containers, clearing around mailboxes and/or newspaper tubes and fire hydrants <br />adjacent to or located upon their property. These areas must be cleared without depositing any <br />snow into the street. The practice of moving snow from driveways into the street causes a very <br />serious traffic problem. When the snow freezes and a vehicle hit a rough spot, it could be <br />thrown out of control and an accident might occur. It is prohibited to blow, shovel or plow any <br />snow back onto, or across any City street. Snow must not be accumulated into any large piles <br />that obstruct vision or driveways or walks. Refuse containers must not be placed on the street <br />surfaces. The City will not clear private drives or walks. <br /> <br />Snowplowing can cause additional snow to be deposited in driveway approaches and around <br />roadside obstacles. Operators are instructed to attempt to minimize these instances; however, it <br />is not practical to eliminate this situation. Residents must be aware they will be responsible for <br />the subsequent clearing of their driveways after their street has been plowed. <br /> <br />
