and ice-coated roads. <br /> $ When driving, keep a safe distance behind snow plows in order to stay clear of the plow:s <br /> blind spots. <br /> $ Do not try to pass plows that are moving in and out between cars parked on the curb line. <br /> This is very dangerous and may cause an accident. <br /> Please note:Residents with loose leaves to be picked up are reminded that snow <br /> plowing will take precedence over leaf pickup. <br /> RESIDENTIAL SNOW & ICE REMOVAL <br /> In addition,property owners and residents are urged to do their best to keep their <br /> sidewalks shoveled. It is the responsibility of the owner or occupant of any premises on any city <br /> street to remove snow and ice from the public sidewalk within 24 hours after snow or ice has <br /> fallen or accumulated. If an owner or occupant fails to comply,the City may remove snow and <br /> ice after giving the owner or occupant 24 hours written notice, and the owner or occupant will be <br /> responsible for the cost of removal. <br /> Keeping our sidewalks clear of snow and ice is especially important for the safety of <br /> children and elders. Clear sidewalks also provide a safe working environment for those who <br /> work in our neighborhoods, including utility locators, postal workers, newspaper delivery <br /> people, and others who provide services to and around our homes. <br /> Snow Removal Guidelines: <br /> $ Never allow children to play in snow piles along curb lines. Please restrict them from <br /> building forts in snow piles along the curb lines. <br /> $ Do not shovel or blow snow into the street causing a traffic obstruction. <br /> $ Please park on driveways or in garages, away from curb lines, whenever possible. <br /> Christmas is nearly upon us, and so is winter weather! Neighbors are encouraged to look <br /> out for and help each other, as some may be unable to move their snowed-in vehicles or clear <br /> their curbs and sidewalks without assistance. The City also reminds everyone that the spirit of <br /> the season is not just about helping others but also respecting their safety. Remember to look out <br /> for snowplows and other drivers, and help celebrate the holiday season by making South Bend a <br /> "Safe City!" <br /> - 30 - <br />
