Q - Why can't the plow lift the blade at my driveway?
A - Unfortunately, the snowplow equipment is not designed for this. If the plow blade were lifted from the roadway, large patches of snow would remain and create hazardous driving conditions.
Q - I just removed the snow from my driveway left by the road plow, and now the sidewalk plow has placed this snow on my driveway. Why can't the sidewalk plow and road plow come down my street at the same time?
A - The Township understands the frustration that this causes, unfortunately, due to the variations in the plow routes, the difference in the capability and speed of sidewalk plows vs. road plows, and the difference in priority routes, it's almost impossible to align the timing and scheduling of sidewalk and road plowing operations.
Q - Why do I see snow plows going down my street scraping roads when there isn't that much snow on the road?
A - As winter weather conditions fluctuate, we take advantage of milder temperatures to return residential roads to bare pavement while limiting salt usage. We also remove the ruts which have already formed on the snow packed surface. This allows for a better surface to clear in the upcoming winter months. In addition, the clearing operation assists in keeping catch basins open to avoid flooding. If weather conditions permit, we push snow banks back to curbs to provide more driving width on the roadway and a snow storage area along residential streets.
Q - My driveway was filled in by the snow plow right after I shoveled it out. What can be done about this?
A - It is important to note that our plow operators do not intentionally fill-in driveways. Due to the difficulty of removing large amounts of snow, many people find it easier to clear the snow before it becomes too heavy. Often this is before the storm has ended and while snowplowing operations are still underway. Please understand that, until the roads are completely cleared, you might have to clear your driveway several times during and after storm events.
