Snow Removal
Guidelines for Private Snow Removal Operators
- When plowing driveways, the snow must be pushed from the driveway onto private property. Snow shall not be taken from driveways, alleys or sidewalks and pushed in or across the street or stored at the intersection of the street and driveway, according to Anchorage Municipal Code 24.80.090 (see Figure 2). For driveways off of a cul-de-sac, snow shall not be placed in the middle of the cul-de-sac (see Figure 1). If configuration of the driveway will not allow for snow to be pushed onto private property, it must be either blown or placed onto private property.
- All snow plow vehicles shall have a flashing amber beacon turned on when plowing snow.
- All other vehicles and pedestrian traffic have the right-of-way over private snow plowing operations.
- All private snow plow operators should be licensed and bonded for their own protection.
- For information call Street Maintenance at 907.343.8277.
