In an effort to maintain clear communication with Cedar Lake residents regarding snow removal responsibilities, we are sharing this information to help prevent misunderstandings during the winter season. No parking on town streets during inclement weather.
The Town is responsible for plowing and salting public streets and roadways. Homeowners are responsible for removing snow and ice from their private driveways and sidewalks adjacent to their property.
During snow removal operations, a ridge of snow-commonly referred to as a windrow— may accumulate at the end of driveways. This occurrence is an unavoidable byproduct of plowing public streets and is not placed there intentionally.
Town: Maintains, plows, and salts public streets and roadways.
Residents: Clear snow and ice from private driveways and adjoining sidewalks.
Recommended Actions
Clear your driveway: Use a shovel or snow blower to remove snow after plows have completed their route. Do not put back in the street, tickets can be written
Clear sidewalks: Keep the sidewalks adjacent to your property free of snow and ice to ensure safe pedestrian passage.
If you are unable to perform the physical tasks of shoveling or snow blowing your driveway and sidewalk, please consider seeking assistance from friends, family, neighbors, or hiring a professional snow removal service to ensure access is maintained during inclement weather
