Carson City Public Works crews are anticipating another round of inclement weather this afternoon, as plows just begin to clear the secondary routes crews are observing individuals piling snow onto the right-of-way. Please be advised, it is hazardous to shovel or blow snow onto any public roadway once the road has been plowed. All shoveled or blown snow should be piled onto private property areas. The best practice is to shovel the snow to the right side of your driveway as you face the road and clear a pocket of snow on the opposite side of your driveway. Snow removal operations is to clear the public roadway and to reduce any waterflow obstructions to the storm drain systems, please do not impact snow removal operations on the right-of-way.
