Driveway Plowing
During the winter months it is imperative that residents clearing snow from their driveways not deposit the snow into the roadway. Whether by plow, snowblower, shovel or any other means, leaving snow or ice in the roadways creates a hazard for the traveling public. Whether you are clearing your driveway yourself or a contractor is handling it for you make sure the snow from your driveway is pushed well off the shoulder of the roadway so it does not create a road hazard for oncoming traffic. It is also against the law. Section 169-1 of the town code allows for a $250 fine plus labor costs imposed on the resident for leaving snow, ice or other substances upon the highway, which includes, pavement, shoulders and ditches. Please advise your snow removal contractor that you are liable. Another important driveway shoveling tip is to pile the snow on the opposite side of the snow plow's approach. This way when the plow passes by, less snow will be pushed back into your driveway. Thank you for your cooperation!
