Snow Removal

Snow removal is one of the most important jobs of the Village Street Department, for the safety of the residents and anyone travelling in the Village, and one of the most difficult.  Equally important are the safety and effectiveness of the Street Department personnel to do that job.  To that end, there are Village Codes addressing this.

 

The following Village Code THAT RUNS FROM DEC 1st-MARCH 31(of the current year) explains the requirements and rights of the Village for snow removal and the penalties for offenses.
