Did you know?
Residents at Bluffton area retirement housing developments were asked by a local Girl Scout troop "What problem could we help you solve?" The residents said: Better snow and ice removal so that we can get around in the winter.
When you look at snow and ice conditions at your place of business, could you navigate the area with a walker, cane, wheelchair, or stroller?
It is our responsibility and a good business practice to promptly remove snow from sidewalks and parking lots.
For best results:
• Don’t shovel or push snow into the street.
• Near on-street parking, make piles of snow with a wide path to each parking spot.
• Clear at least a 42-inch-wide path for people using wheelchairs and pushing strollers.
• During the day, clear sidewalks and curb ramps within three hours after it stops snowing.
• If it snows overnight, clear sidewalks and curb ramps within three hours after sunrise.
• Remove ice to bare pavement or make as level as possible and treat with ice melter, sand, or sawdust.
Thanks so much for everything you do to make our village and surrounding area a great place to live, work, and visit!
