As cleanup continues, residents, property owners, and businesses are reminded:
-
Do not place snow in any street, roadway, alley, or lane.
-
Snow plowed or shoveled from private parking lots and driveways must remain on your property.

Place snow on lawns or other appropriate areas on your property - not in the roadway.
