SNOW REMINDERS
| |
| |
 Winter is here and we want to take this time to remind you of a few snow related items.
According to Sec. 70.112 of the Village Code of Ordinances, snow and ice removal from sidewalks is the responsibility of property owners of a building or lot within 48 hours after snow fall ceases. Failure to remove snow or ice within the allotted time specified in the ordinance will result in issuance of a citation for ordinance violation which carries with it a $75 fine and, the Village without further notice may clear the said sidewalk at the expense of the property owner.
It is illegal to plow snow from your driveway, sidewalk, or parking lot onto any roadway. It is also against the Village of Weston Ordinance to plow snow across the street, as both of these instances can create a safety hazard.
On garbage pickup day, please place your trash container in your driveway and/or off the street & as far away from your mailbox as possible. This will allow the plow operators to clear the snow without hitting it as plow operators are mandated to not cross the center line of the street. The garbage truck will not have a problem reaching your container from this location.
Please remember to follow the Village's winter parking restrictions so our plows can get through. All vehicles must be off the roadway between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. and any other hours deemed necessary to allow for proper snow removal.
And most important of all, please try to stay at least 200 feet behind a snowplow and/or salt truck when the driver is operating it. He'll make frequent stops and starts and may need to back up. We don't want anyone to get hurt.
