Winters in Stevensville have no shortage of cold weather and snow fall events. To combat snowfall and ice build-up, Public Works crews work diligently to plow Town streets and clear sidewalks. Please take some time to review the following Town snow removal reminders to keep all safe throughout the winter season:
Citizens and businesses must keep their sidewalks shoveled. The Town is asking citizens to clear a 36-inch path to allow pedestrians to travel effectively. Citizens are asked to clear a pedestrian path even if no sidewalk exists. Additional enforcement of sidewalk snow removal may occur if citizens fail to keep areas clear and may result in charges.
Citizens are asked to move recreational vehicles, including campers and boats, off the street in residential areas for the entire snow season, which runs from Nov. 15 to March 15. Downtown on snowy days, on-street parking will be prohibited between midnight and 6 a.m. Cars may be towed downtown if not moved.
When it snows, even if it’s just an inch or two, crews will plow all the streets, including residential streets. Crews will complete residential work primarily during regular day shifts Monday through Friday. Emergency Routes and Arterials are plowed first, residential areas. Vehicle routes around schools and medical facilities also have been prioritized. During a larger snowfall of four inches or more, crews will move to 24/7 operations to complete and maintain a full-City plow.
