Bloomingdale

Bloomingdale Snow Removal With the seasonal snowfall just around the corner, the Village Services Department, Public Works Division is ready to combat snow and ice on the 153 center lane miles of Village streets, making them safer for motorists. Village crews are promptly mobilized when a storm begins, day or night. Snowplow Operations - After a 1-inch to 2-inch accumulation of snow, crews begin snowplow operations according to pre-determined snow routes. There are four routes with eight vehicles. There are also two smaller vehicles which handle cul-de-sacs and dead ends. These routes have been carefully designed to allow for optimum use of available snowplowing equipment and personnel. All Village-owned streets will eventually be plowed, but main streets are cleared before side streets, which are cleared before cul-de-sacs and dead ends. The rate at which the streets are cleared depends on many factors including total accumulation, type of snow (wet or powder-like), temperature and volume of traffic on streets during plow operations. Village Ordinance Prohibits the Discharge of Snow onto Village Streets. Manpower and equipment limitations prohibit the Village from responding to routine requests to remove snow from private driveways. We recommend you delay your schedule for clearing the driveway until the snowplows have cleaned your street. The Village Ordinance prohibits the discharge of snow onto Village streets. This illegally placed snow may freeze or become compacted, creating a safety hazard for all motorists.
