I live on a cul-de-sace and I haven't been plowed out yet. Why not?

There are about 350 cul-de-sacs in the City and removing snow from these lower-volume streets in the beginning of a snow event would prevent the City from clearing higher-volume streets for motorists that must travel them.

Once plows do make it to cul-de-sacs, there are very few places to push the snow without blocking driveways, mailboxes, fire hydrants, and storm drain inlets. Drivers will do their best, but please be aware of the challenges they face in cul-de-sac snow removal.
