PUBLIC SAFETY - Trustee Baumer/Trustee Cecille I-16-001 Information Item – Winter Safety
Winter is just around the corner, and the Village would like to offer some reminders regarding winter safety. First, our winter parking regulations are now in effect. Vehicles in residential driveways may block the sidewalk from December 1 through the end of February. Parking is still prohibited on Village streets between the hours of 1-5 am, except where noted in specific subdivisions. Parking is also prohibited after a 2 inch or greater snowfall until streets are fully plowed. Please do not rake, sweep or blow leaves into Village streets. Leaves can block storm sewers causing flooding in the streets. All yard waste must be collected and placed into approved containers for removal. Please be reminded that yard waste pickup service ends December 15. Finally, please do not shovel snow into the street. This is especially important after the plows clear the snow and lay salt as snow blown into the street can create ice slicks and other safety hazards.
