Why does my driveway get plowed-in when a snow plow passes by my house?
The Village uses side delivery snow plows on its snow removal equipment. Side delivery snow plows are the fastest and most efficient means available to remove snowfall from the streets. As a result of the plow's design, snow is discharged to the edge of the street.

There is simply no way to prevent the deposit of snow at the entrances of driveways. It is an unavoidable by-product of the effort to maintain clear and safe streets for everyone in the shortest amount of time possible. If you can, wait until the street is plowed before clearing your driveway.

For the safety of others, please do not shovel snow off your driveway or sidewalk onto the street. The snow will harden and become compacted, creating a safety hazard.
