Smooth Rock Falls Sets Snow Management Guidelines

The Town of Smooth Rock Falls has outlined specific snow management guidelines to ensure safety and compliance with legal standards. Residents are advised that snow should not be placed on streets or sidewalks, nor moved from private property onto public areas, unless it is an approved snow dump location. This measure is intended to prevent potential safety hazards, such as obstructing pedestrian pathways or drivers' visibility.

The Highway Traffic Act prohibits pushing snow across roads or streets to the opposite side. Violations of this regulation may result in penalties, highlighting the importance of adhering to these guidelines for community safety.

The town has designated several areas for snow dumping, including Clouterville Road, Fifth Street, and Highway 834, among others. Residents and snow removal contractors are encouraged to use these designated zones to ensure compliance with local regulations.

These guidelines are part of the town's efforts to maintain safe and accessible public spaces during the winter months. By following these regulations, residents contribute to a safer environment for everyone in the community.
