USEFUL WINTER TIPS:

Residents can help make the streets and sidewalks safer by following
a few rules:
• Do not plow snow onto the street or sidewalk. Snow thrown back into the street for “the traffic to melt,” only creates a snow pack that turns into ice, creating a hazardous condition. If you have a snow removal contractor, please advise them of this request.
• Do not allow children to play on the snow piles near the street. It may be fun, but it puts them in extreme danger from passing vehicles.
• When a snow event occurs, please move vehicles out of the street. Snow plows have to maneuver around parked cars and snow gets moved in places that can create
additional inconveniences for you and your neighbors.
