The Street Department Manager asks residents not to shovel the end of driveways until the plows have been down the street. Waiting for the snow plows will save the trouble of reshoveling. Remember:
- It is against city code to shovel snow into the street. Doing so only slows down the process of clearing the streets. This city code also applies to raking leaves or landscape debris into the street, which causes the storm sewers to back up when it rains.
- A parking ban on all West Peoria streets will be issued whenever two or more inches of snow is predicted, according to City Ordinance # 2006-17.
