Winter- Snow, Ice, Sand and Salt

City of Berlin Public Works would like to remind residents and commercial property owners of some Winter housekeeping issues. Regulary plowed Sidewalks and edges of streets are to be kept clear for plowing.(list of plowed sidewalks can be seen below)  Things such as basketball hoops, toys, nets, (downtown)flower boxes, etc should be removed from sidewalks and edges of streets for plowing accessibility.  

Private plowers must not push snow into any right of way, the streets or regularly plowed sidewalks. Stated in the City Ordinance Sect 13-4(b) A person may deposit or place snow from private property either along the street side of their own property line or along the property line of property owners either across the street or to either side, so long as these property owners have given written permission to do so. All such snow must be placed in a smooth manner along the existing snow banks and will not interfere with the public ways by protruding into the roadway or creating traffic hazards or obstructions to any neighboring properties
