Safety Tips (via Google AI)-
Stay alert: Pay attention to traffic, traffic signals, and where you’re going.
Take it slow: When shoveling or removing snow from your car, work slowly to avoid injury.
Avoid overexertion: High levels of activity in cold temperatures can increase your risk of heart attack.
Prepare an emergency kit: Include at least three days of supplies you can carry with you, and at least two weeks of supplies to stay at home.
Staying Prepared for Snow Emergencies-
As inclement weather approaches, we want to remind everyone about important steps to take during a snow emergency to ensure the safety and functionality of our city:
No Parking on Designated Snow Routes
During a snow emergency, parking on designated snow routes is prohibited. These routes are vital for efficient snow removal, and keeping them clear helps crews work quickly and safely.
Give Snow Crews Room to Work
When you see snow removal equipment on the roads, please keep your distance and allow them the space needed to operate.
Do Not Plow Snow into Streets
If you’re clearing your driveway, sidewalk, or private parking lot, remember: it is a violation of city ordinance to plow snow into the streets. Help keep our roads safe and accessible for all.
Clear Sidewalks in Front of Your Property
Property owners are required to clear sidewalks adjacent to their homes or businesses. Failure to comply may result in a $250 fine. Your efforts make it safer for pedestrians to navigate during winter weather.
