By-law enforcement officers will be out issuing tickets to residents and private snow removal operators who are pushing snow back onto the street from driveways and sidewalks.
Under the Highway Traffic Act and City of Windsor by-laws, residents and private snow removal operators are prohibited from pushing snow back onto the street. City officials say this creates unsafe road conditions for motorists.
Windsor plows continue to work to clear residential streets following Sunday’s record breaking snowfall of 37 centimetres. Crews hope to have those areas completed in approximately 24-36 hours.
Windsor Fire and Rescue Services are also asking that residents keep fire hydrants clear of snow. In the event of a fire, it will be easier for fire crews to gain access to the hydrant.
Any calls to 311 requesting plowing should be delayed until late Tuesday, when crews expect to have covered all areas.
