Winter Safety Reminders
Post Date:02/08/2022 11:23 AM
- Always keep children clear of snowplows.
- When driving, stay back at least 100 feet from moving plows and do not pass moving plows.
- Remind children when building snow forts to remain on private property and not to build on the parkway next to streets, which can be dangerous.
- Remove items from the parkway that overhang the curb, especially portable basketball hoops.
- When clearing snow from your driveway, shovel snow in the direction of traffic and in the direction of plowing operations onto the parkway.
- Please refrain from blowing or throwing snow into the street. This action can create a hazardous condition.
- Do not put snow removed from driveways near fire hydrants and help keep areas around fire hydrants clear.
- Do not park on the street when snowfall is predicted. After one inch of snow accumulates, parking is prohibited and violators may be ticketed.
- Remember to remove garbage cans from the curb when snowfall is predicted or when snowfall occurs. Garbage cans create unnecessary hazards for snowplow drivers and prevent the efficient removal of snow.
If you have any questions about the snowplowing program, please call Public Works at 847-960-7500. Click here to learn more about our snow and ice removal operations.
