Snow Removal
 The snow must
go….but where?
The Department of Public Work’s goal is to provide a bare
pavement quality recognized by many Snow Belt cities. Proper control
of parking and traffic contributes significantly to reducing
response time and operational costs. We ask that you cooperate in
the following ways:
- If you hire a private contractor for snow removal services
please remind them not to plow snow into the public roadway. This
is not only disruptive to local traffic and snow removal
operations, but it is illegal.
- Refrain from parking vehicles on any street during snow and
sleet. If a snow emergency is declared, all parked vehicles must
be removed from the street.
- Do not use snow blowers to blow snow in the street. Remember
the area around your mailbox must be cleared or your mail will not
be delivered.
- Do not let children play on the mounds of snow near the
roadway. It is difficult for snowplow operators to see behind or
over the mounds, so please caution your children.
The highest priority for the DPW during the winter months is safe
winter driving. To ensure the safety of motorists traveling in Novi,
the following priorities for removing snow and ice from local roads
are:
- Major road networks and school bus routes
- Police and fire facilities, bridges, hills and curves
- The balance of the local roads
If you have any questions or concerns regarding snow removal,
contact the DPW at 248-735-5640
