Is it legal to shovel snow from a sidewalk or driveway entrance into the street?
No. Chapter 12, Article 3 of the Village Code prohibits any obstructions on a street or adjacent right-of-way that would interfere with efficient snow plowing operations, impede traffic flow or create a danger to motorists, or whose placement may result in injury to persons or property. Snow placed illegally in the street may be compacted and may harden into ice patches, creating a safety hazard. For the safety of the motoring public, the Village asks its residents to refrain from shoveling their snow onto the street.
