Information - What Residences, and Businesses Need to Know
SNOW REMOVAL TIPS
If you shovel a
small area of your parkway along the curb line and opposite the direction of
traffic for approximately six to eight feet, less snow will be deposited at the
end of your driveway when the plows widen the street from curb to curb.
REMEMBER TO SHOVEL SIDEWALKS
Heavy snowfall
creates difficulties in keeping our streets, driveways, and walks clear of
snow. Village ordinances require all property owners to clear snow from the
public walk in front, side, or rear of their property. The Village receives
numerous complaints regarding sidewalks that have not been cleared, causing
hazardous conditions for pedestrians. Businesses are required to remove any
accumulation of 2 inches or more, within 3 hours. Residents are required to
remove accumulations of 2 inches or more within 24 hours. We appreciate your
help in assuring the safety of your neighbors and customers by keeping the
public walks clear.
PARKING DURING A SNOW EVENT
In addition to
the regular Village parking restrictions that prohibit parking from 1am until
6am, there is no parking on any streets within Village limits during a snow
event. Parking is not permitted until snow removal operations have been
completed on streets or parkways outside the Central Business District when
snow accumulation is over two inches. Parking is not permitted after 1am until
snow removal operations have been completed on streets or parkways within the
Central Business District when snow accumulation is over two inches. The
Village asks you to park your car in your driveway once snow accumulation
reaches two inches.
