One of the biggest concerns of our snowplow operators is the safety
of children waiting for the school bus or playing near the road. Even at
residential speeds, the force of the snow coming off of the plow is
quite powerful. Additionally, ice chunks and road debris are often mixed
in with the snow. Our operators do their very best to watch for children
and adjust their speed and/or path to keep them safe. You can help us
keep our snow removal operations safe and efficient by reminding your
children of the following:
When waiting for the school bus, please stand back by the sidewalk
and give the snowplow plenty of room.
When the snowplow comes by your house, please don’t play in the
snow banks by the road.
