Northbrook

Northbrook Snow Removal The next snowstorm might be just around the corner! Northbrook 's plowing crews are ready for snow and ice. But what can you do to help ? Be Patient as the Public Works Department Clears our Roadways Remember! It takes approximately six to seven hours after the snow has stopped to clear Northbrook 's 500+ lane miles of roadway and 249 cul-de-sacs, alleys and dead-ends. Heavy, prolonged snowfalls take much longer. Your patience is appreciated. Observe Snowfall Parking Restrictions After a snowfall of two (2) or more inches, it is illegal to park on Northbrook streets until they have been completely cleared. Vehicles in violation are subject to ticketing and towing. If your vehicle has become disabled, call 847 564-2060 to inform the police. Adopt the Nearest Fire Hydrant! In case of an emergency, seconds count! Please assign someone in your household/neighborhood with the responsibility of keeping fire hydrants on or near your property clear of snow. Take Time to Shovel the Public Sidewalks Students, mail carriers, and other pedestrians will appreciate your efforts. Contrary to rumor, state law dictates that there is no liability! (745 ILCS 75/1 and 75/2 of the state statutes generally provide immunity to owners, lessors, or occupants of residential property for shoveling snow.) And don't forget to dig out your refuse and recycling carts if they are left out in the snow! The Village of Northbrook is not responsible for all roadways within the Village limits.
