Reminders:
Article 1219 of New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) prohibits plowing, shoveling or blowing snow into a street or highway. This includes plowing the snow across a roadway to areas across from your driveway. Fines for a first offense include up to a $150 fine and/or 15 days in jail plus applicable surcharges.
As per the City Charter, Snow and Ice removal from sidewalks in front of and adjacent to properties are the responsibility of the property owner. The City of Sherrill will attempt to clear sidewalks after a snow event is completed pending manpower and accessibility. Snow removal of City streets are the primary public safety concern.
Help keep your home safe from winter fire hazards by ensuring your fire hydrants are clear and readily accessible in an emergency. Consider helping elderly friends, neighbors, or those with medical conditions to keep their fire hydrants clear too.
