Residential Winter Tips
- Shovel snow onto grassy area of your property when clearing driveways/sidewalks.
- Avoid shoveling snow from your driveway onto City roadways. This will help keep the City’s streets from re-icing when already treated.
- Apply salt, sand and/or cat litter to icy steps and paths.
- Assist with clearing snow surrounding fire hydrants.
- Shovel around storm drains as necessary to minimize the risk of black ice as snow starts to melt.
- Adopt a storm drain near your residence to assist the City in keeping its approximately 30,000 storm drains properly draining.
- Use off-street parking during snow events to allow crews to work safely, efficiently and quickly.
- Be observant of snow parking restrictions and emergency declarations when in effect.
