Pushing Snow on or Across Roadways Illegal and Dangerous
The city warns that plowing or shoveling snow from your driveway or sidewalk onto a public road, pushed across a public road, or dumped onto a public road right of way causes a real hazard and is against the law. Snow piles that are pushed across the road or dumped into the road right of way can cause drifting and unsafe conditions for drivers. It also can cause serious damage to snowplow equipment when hitting compacted and frozen snow deposited into the road right of way.
