Help keep roads and sidewalks safe this winter
Clearing snow and ice helps everyone travel safely, including people using wheelchairs, walkers and strollers. Residents and businesses are responsible for clearing snow and ice around their properties.
Here are a few ways you can help:
Do not shovel or blow snow from your property onto the street. This is against the law.
When possible, pile snow on the right side of your driveway when facing the street. This can help reduce the amount of snow pushed back into your driveway.
Keep snowbanks near the road low so drivers can see clearly when entering or leaving driveways. Shovel snow back further onto your property.
Keep exits clear. Remove snow from doors, stairs, fire escapes and furnace vents.
Clear fire hydrants. If there is a fire hydrant near your property, keep snow and ice cleared around it so firefighters can reach it quickly in an emergency.
