1. Why are residential streets not plowed?

View the plowing priority system page for an explanation.

2. 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.

3. Am I allowed to shovel snow onto the street?

No, it is illegal to place snow from private drives or parking lots onto public rights-of-way. Do not push or shovel snow into the street.

4. Does the County shovel sidewalks?

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.

5. Does the County repair street lights?

6. How long do I need to stay off the fresh concrete?

Motor vehicles are typically allowed to drive in new concrete within three days.

7. Why does the new curb color not match the existing concrete?

The new curb was sprayed with a curing compound that is important for concrete to develop strength. This compound has a white pigment for installation, which will fade over time. Even after this fading there will be a difference in the shades of concrete due to the age of the concrete.
