As more potential snowstorms continue to move our way, I want to remind residents and business owners of some snow related laws and suggestions. First, there is absolutely no parking on ANY roadway during a snow event. If you are a Village resident, you may temporarily park your vehicle at the overflow lot across from Village Hall during the storm. Once the snow has been cleared, and if our crews have the ability, we will help plow your vehicle out of the lot. Keep in mind, this may not be done right away but it’s better than having your car towed for parking in the roadway and causing unsafe conditions for our plows and other drivers.
Also, if you use a plow of any kind to either plow your residence or your business, you may not plow snow onto someone else’s property or impede their ability to remove snow. Village code requires that the snow removal from sidewalks is the responsibility of the abutting property owner or user. Snow must be removed from sidewalks “within 10 hours of the conclusion of the storm.” The hours of 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. are excluded from the 10-hour calculation. Bottom line, try your best to clear the snow as soon after the storm as you can. Village crews will go around and assist with sidewalk snow removal ONLY during regular working hours and never during the snow event.
