Before shovelling into a convenient pile, confirm the city’s placement rule and make sure the pile will not block a sidewalk, sightline or drainage path.

On a corner lot, the side-street sidewalk can matter as much as the front. Businesses should verify whether the city applies a separate clearing expectation.

Treat winter guidance as live information: verify the current season and any active event before making a parking or clearing decision.
