FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions

Residential

• Sidewalks must be cleared within 72 hours after the snow stops falling. Ice melt or sand must be spread on any icy patches within the same time period
• Snow may be piled onto your yard, the boulevard, or in the parking lane of the street if there is no other place to put it.
• If possible, wait until the street has been plowed before cleaning out the end of the driveway.
• If possible, place snow on the opposite side of the driveway from which the snow plow is coming. This will allow the plow to carry snow away from the driveway rather than back into it.

Commercial

• Sidewalks must be cleared within 72 hours after the snow stops falling. Ice melt or sand must be spread on any icy patches within the same time period
• A business that has no room on the property – with the street on one side and a building on the other side – may put snow in the parking lane or alley way only if these conditions are present.
