Full Notification

Snow plowing process:

The priority of plowing streets is based on street usage and levels of traffic. Primary streets will be plowed first, then secondary streets, and finally cul-de-sacs, alleys and dead ends will be plowed last.

Residents should also be aware that snow cannot be pushed, piled, or dumped into streets. Violators may be ticketed, with a minimum fine of $50.00.



Winter Parking Restrictions:

The North Aurora Police Department would like to remind residents that winter street parking restrictions are currently in effect. Parking on Village streets after a 2" snowfall is not allowed until snow is plowed to the curb, which could be the day following the snowstorm.

Public Works personnel will be working hard to clear the streets but they need your cooperation as vehicles parked on the street slow down the plows and drain police resources needed to remove them. Vehicles in violation will be ticketed and may be towed, causing a minimum fine of $50.00 and tow fees that exceed $100. If you suspect your vehicle was towed from the street during snow removal, call the police department at (630) 897-8705.

Please move vehicles off of the roadway until the snowstorm is over and plowing is complete. We appreciate your cooperation.



Mailbox Policy During Snow Removal:

Mailboxes will be replaced at Village expense only if a snowplow hits the mailbox. At this time, the driver of the plow will report it to the Superintendent of Public Works for repair or replacement. All replacement mailboxes will be a standard metal box and a treated 4 x 4 post. If a decorative or different mailbox is desired the extra cost will be up to the homeowner.

Mailboxes will not be repaired or replaced by the Village if the mailbox is damaged due to snow coming from the plow. If the force of snow does damage to the mailbox it would mean that the mailbox was defective before the snow hit it, therefore the Village is not responsible.

Please call Village Hall at (630) 897-8228 if your mailbox is damaged during snow removal.
