Snow means cuddling up in warm blankets with a cup of cocoa, sledding, and holidays.\u00a0 It also means dangerous roads and slippery sidewalks. Here are two things you can do to keep yourself and your neighbors safe through the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Clear the snow around your property<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Shovel or plow snow away from sidewalks, fire hydrants and mailboxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What happens if you don\u2019t? People can slip and get minor to serious injuries on icy sidewalks. Or, you might have to wait a few minutes while firefighters dig through the snow before finding the hydrant. Or, you might not get your mail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Pro tip: If you shovel snow into the road, it makes more work for plows and can create dangerous blocks of ice for cars on the road. It\u2019s safer to put snow back into your own yard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Avoid parking on the street during and after storms<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      What happens if you do? It’s not only against city ordinance<\/a>, but if you leave your car parked on the street, plows can\u2019t get through. They may need to skip your street entirely. Now imagine garbage day, a snow filled street lined with cars AND garbage cans \u2013 Impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      West Jordan is the home of the good neighbor \u2013 watch out for each other and encourage your neighbors to park in their driveway or garage when a storm is coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Pro tip: Avoid getting tickets when you park on the street during clear weather by not parking in front of fire hydrants, mailboxes or driveways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What we\u2019re doing to help<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Coming to a windshield near you! We\u2019re starting a new sticky-note program this year \u2013 If you see something on your dashboard, it\u2019s probably not a ticket, just a friendly reminder! The mayor, council members and other staff will be placing these on cars while out and about before snow storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cWe\u2019re always looking to stay ahead of the curb<\/em> when it comes to keeping our streets safe,\u201d said Mayor Dirk Burton, \u201cA little reminder on a car door can go a long way \u2013 because, after all, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of plow power<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      See where the snow plows are near you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you want to see where the snow plows are during storms, check out our live snow plow map!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
