West Peoria Code Enforcement Reminders

   The Code Enforcement Office would like to remind residents they are responsible for cleaning and maintaining their alleyways and disposing of all garbage and debris.  The Code Enforcement Officer will send out violation and/or fine notices to all who fail to comply with city ordinances in a timely fashion.  Most fines start at $50.00; legal action will be taken against violators who fail to pay the fine.    With winter here, the city would like to remind all residents that--in the case of snow storms--our snow removal policy is curb-to-curb plowing, as there is a need to clear streets to provide for safe travel for fire and rescue vehicles and to make on-street parking available.  It is unlawful to park any vehicles on streets at any time within twelve hours after a snowfall of two or more inches.    Emergency snow routes in West Peoria are:  Heading, Rohmann, Ayres, Callender, and Waverly Avenues.  After those routes are cleared, the street crew will focus its attention to clearing secondary routes and side streets.  Thank you for your ongoing patience and understanding.  When a snow fall is imminent, you can help the city by parking your vehicles in your garage or driveway and by shoveling the sidewalks in front of your residence.  Also, please assist us by shoveling out fire hydrants wherever you may see them.  Thanks again and please drive safely this winter season.    Reminder:  Visit http://www.cityofwestpeoria.com/ for information and updates about our community.   Refer to the Code Enforcement/Zoning section on the website for further clarification of these laws.
