Keep rights-of-way clear
The City of Quincy Public Works Department would like to remind the community of a few winter tips.
Snowfall will always bring with it headaches and unfortunately backaches. We will do our best to clear the streets in a timely manner and try to provide as safe a driving surface as we can. With that said, winter has with it some inherent dangers that we all need to allow for. Even with the best efforts of the snow crews, streets will be slick and drivers need to slow down and increase following and stopping distances.
When we do have to plow, we will try not to place snow on sidewalks, but with large volumes of snow and large equipment some snow will inevitably get on sidewalks. We apologize in advance.
It is the property owners’ responsibility to remove snow from sidewalks and driveway approaches. It is a violation of the city code to place any of this snow in the street. All snow from sidewalks, driveways or approaches must be kept out of the city rights-of-way. Throwing the snow in the street creates driving hazards, and if it is necessary to plow again, the snow will be right back in the driveway. Snow removed from parking areas on the street cannot be left in piles on the street. These piles create traffic and parking hazards as well as drainage problems when the snow begins to melt.
We will do our best to provide for you a safe community. Your cooperation and patience will be greatly appreciated.
— Dave Reynolds, City of Quincy Public Works
