Here are some tips for snow and cold weather:

NO STREET PARKING AFTER 2" SNOWFALL: 

• The City prohibits parking on the street for 24 hours after 2 inches (2") or more of snow - or until the street or roadway has been cleared. This allows crews to efficiently and safely remove snow curb to curb
• No on-street parking for a period of 24 hours after 2 inches or more of snow falls - or until the street has been cleared
• The goal is to clear all streets within four hours after snow stops falling
• Crews plow primary streets first, followed by side streets, cul-de-sacs, and school crossings near schools
• The City does not clear snow from residential and business sidewalks

SHOVEL SAFELY:

When snow is wet and heavy, remember to stay hydrated, take frequent breaks, and move only small amounts with each shovel pass. 

PLAN AHEAD BEFORE YOU HIT THE ROAD:

Use the Illinois Department of Transportation's web-based interactive mapping site, Getting Around Illinois. You can find information on winter road conditions and view their live traffic cameras.

BE SALT SMART: 

Road salt is used to keep roads safe, but too much salt damages vehicles and infrastructure, harms pets and plants, and degrades rivers and wetlands. 

City staff attend annual trainings and deicing workshops to learn best practices when using salt.

MAILBOX MAINTENANCE: Do an annual checkup: 

• Tighten loose hinges on the door.
• Take care of rusty or loose parts.
• Replace missing or faded house numbers.
• Keep the path to your mailbox clear.
