Snow Removal

• Seymour maintains 90 miles of roads

Plow Routes:

1. Main Roads (priority for steep hills and intersections)

2. Side Streets

3. Dead-End Roads
   Side streets may remain unplowed if main roads require repeat plowing.

Blocked Driveways:

• Snowplows push snow to the right—driveways may be blocked

• Homeowners are responsible for clearing access

• To avoid double-shoveling, wait until plowing is complete

---

Sidewalks

• Property owners are required to clear sidewalks within 24 hours after a storm ends

• Sidewalks near schools are especially important

• Police may issue fines for non-compliance

---

Mailbox Damage

• Public Works will repair/replace only if struck directly by a plow blade

• No replacement for boxes damaged by plowed snow force

• Mailboxes must be sturdy enough to withstand snow removal

---

Private Plowing Rules

• Contractors may not push snow from driveways or lots into the street

• If unavoidable, they must remove the windrow from the street

---
