As we enter this Winter Season, the Village of Lindenhurst would like to remind our residents of some of the ways they can help to keep our Village safe during the cold & snow.
· Now that temperatures are dropping, if you have lawn sprinklers that spray or drain onto sidewalks and roadways, please make the necessary adjustments to avoid the creation of dangerous, icy conditions for pedestrians and cyclists.
· Be alert to weather advisories. To receive alerts directly to your phone or email, please sign up for our emergency alerts system:
· As soon as you are aware that bad weather is on the way:
o Make every effort to keep your car off the street. This protects your car from being plowed in, or being hit by passing vehicles, and the snowplow has space to safely plow the snow.
o If you have an outdoor portable basketball hoop, as per Village Code, it must be removed from the Village roadway. This is especially important to keep the roadway clear for the safe and efficient removal of snow by our Village plows.
· When shoveling snow out of the mouth of your driveway, please throw the snow to the right of your driveway (the direction to your right when you are looking at the street from your property). Throwing or plowing snow into the road can create a patch of snow and ice and cause a hazardous condition. Please note, it is unlawful to shovel or dump snow into spaces reserved for handicap parking.
