Why don the snow plow operators plow all the way back to the curb?
HRM’s practice is to plow the snow whenever possible back as far as the curb. However, in any given snow storm, with the amount of snow, where the previous snow windrow has frozen in place, or if the size of the plow cannot push all the snow that has fallen, it may not be all the way back to the curb, but it is our practice to try and get it back to the curb whenever possible. There are also situations particularly in the early winter or late spring, when it snows and the area behind the curbs is not frozen, our large plows can do a considerable amount of damage to the curb and sodded area, therefore we instruct our operators to use care and stay back from the curb sufficiently to prevent this damage.
