SNOW REMOVAL
SNOW REMOVAL
Snow plowing and snow shoveling are essential parts of maintaining safe streets and sidewalks
in our neighborhood during the winter months. We need your help in doing this. We adopted the City of Cheney’s snow removal ordinance and want to make sure you are aware of what it is plus any other relevant by-laws.
If you will be out-of-town, it’s even more important for you to plan ahead if you normally park on the street.
If you need to hire somebody for snow removal, contact us, as we have recommendations to offer.
1) Each time two or more inches of snow accumulates and so long as that snow remains uncleared,
no vehicles shall be parked or left standing upon any street. (Cheney Municipal Code 11.48.070)
2) If your vehicle is parked in the street and blocks the plow and/or your car is plowed in, you will be
issued a fine, your vehicle may be removed and impounded at your expense, and you will be
responsible for paying the cost for the plow to come back thru to plow the area your vehicle was
parked in.
3) When snow accumulates 2 inches or more sidewalks must be cleared of snow at least once in
every 24 hr period to avoid buildup. If you are in non-compliance, you will be given one warning and
24 hrs to remedy it before we hire somebody at your expense. Failure to keep sidewalks clear
may also result in a $50 fine per occurrence, per snowfall of 2 inches or more until remedied.
4) Sidewalks are to remain clear of any obstruction that prevents clear passage. All sidewalks
must have a minimum of 4 ft clearance at all times. Vehicles are not to be parked on the sidewalks.
Failure to comply may result in a $50 fine each vehicle, per occurrence, per week until remedied.
5) If your vehicle is parked in front of a fire hydrant or parked in the fire lane side of the street, you are
illegally parked and your vehicle may be cited and/or towed, at your expense.
6) Homeowners are responsible for clearing snow & ice at least 3 ft from the fire hydrant
on their property. (International Fire Code Fire Protection Water Supplies Section 508.5.5)
