1. What can I do to help alleviate my ice problem?

Shovel or snow-blow the snow into your yard or behind the sidewalk. Never place this snow in the gutter or street. Clear your driveway and sidewalk as soon after the storm as possible. Remove snow at the very end of your driveway at least 6 feet beyond each edge of the driveway and even into the street. Keep large trees and shrubs adequately trimmed so their shadow is not cast into the street or where ice and snow usually accumulate.

2. Who shovels sidewalks and pedestrian walkways?

The county does not remove snow from sidewalks or pedestrian walkways. Citizens are encouraged to shovel walks adjacent to their homes as a courtesy to their neighbors and for the safety of pedestrians.
