Shoveling snow, ice or any material onto a public road is unlawful. Please do not push your snow across the road and into your neighbor’s property.
Please do not park along Fremont Township (West Shore Park) roadways for the safety of the plow drivers, your vehicle, and to allow for better clearing of the snow. When there is a reasonable chance of snow, please do not park on township roads. Some areas become impassible with the plow trucks, greatly affecting the ability to remove snow and adding substantial time to the routes. This is also in the best interest of your vehicles, both with salt spray and the risk of slipping in icy conditions.
As always, please give the snow plow drivers plenty of space.
Fremont Township employees appreciate you not parking on Fremont Township roads during any snow events. It has made their cleanup efforts so much safer and efficient in the past. Please help by reminding your neighbors if you see them parked on Fremont Township (West Shore Park) roads.
While the goal of Fremont Township will be to have all areas cleared “curb to curb” within 12 hours of the end of an event, limited staffing may preclude that during prolonged events. The emphasis will be on making sure all areas are cleared to allow passage of emergency vehicles, delaying a complete clean-up until the drivers have received adequate rest to perform safely.
Wear High Vis clothing when walking at night. Much of the plowing is done in the dark—either after evening rush hour or in the early morning hours. Invariably, after every round, they comment on encountering pedestrians dressed in black, walking in the dark, and they thank their lucky stars that the plow driver saw them in time. If you must walk at night when it’s snowy, please wear high vis clothing and remain clear of the road when the plow trucks are in your vicinity.
Keep kids out of roadside snow piles. Hurting a child while pushing back snow is every snow plow driver’s worst nightmare. Playing in snow piles after the roads are clear can be risky too—as snow accumulates, the plow drivers may need to move piles to create space for additional snow and improve visibility.
