[ARCHIVED] Winter Safety Reminders

Staff have been training and preparing equipment to get ready to maintain Shorewood streets this winter. The City is asking residents and businesses to do your part this winter season. 

Parking: While the City does not have parking restrictions during the winter months, please keep streets clear of parked cars and recreational items.

Snowplows: Please use caution when driving around snowplows. Plow trucks are very large and have limited visibility, especially with winter conditions. Do not pass a plow through blinding snow and do not follow too closely. Children should not build snow forts next to or on the street. While it is fun, a plow driver cannot fully see children in these structures and it can lead to a very dangerous situation.

Adopt a fire hydrant: If you have a fire hydrant in your neighborhood, please make sure to clear a path to the hydrant and 3 feet around the hydrant. Removing snow around hydrants can save valuable time for firefighters during fire emergencies. 

Report a concern

To report an issue with streets, stormwater, or trees, contact Shorewood Public Works' emergency phone at 952-292-2968
