Information on snow procedures, parking during snow events, and treatment updates from snow removal contractor

Please see an update from our Snow chair:

Our snow contractor has cleared the majority of sidewalks in our community; but this does not include all of our alleys.  They provided paths at the end of most of the sidewalks that exit onto the street.  Some of these paths are not direct and they can be narrow, but walkers can get around - just be careful!  There is more work to do, but our contractor is giving his teams a rest.  They have been working straight for 8 days (including the pre-treat) and the work is heavy, hard and slow. If you see workers, please thank them!

Work will continue and we will continue to update you on timing and the scope of work early this week.  I will check with our trash and recycling contractor to find out what their schedule will be over the next 2 weeks. It is highly likely that collection for our alleys will not be possible. 

Please use care driving and walking in our community.  Patches of ice exist and large snow piles can impact visibility.  Please drive slowly through our neighborhood.

I want to thank all the folks that helped their neighbors and helped our community.  Please continue to help - clean up from this storm will be slow and long and piles of ice and snow will remain for quite a while.  

Stay safe,

Laura

SNOW REMOVAL PROCEDURES:
 
The Association has a contract for the removal of snow from all Stonehurst streets and sidewalks. When ice or snow are forecast, streets and sidewalks may be pretreated to aid vehicles and residents access, if approved by the Snow Maintenance Chair and/or the Board President. The priority of snow removal operations is to first ensure that streets are cleared to allow access for fire trucks and other emergency vehicles, and then alleviate the snowfall conditions that affects automobile parking, pedestrian, and vehicular traffic.
 
a.  STREETS:  The east side of Stonehurst Drive, north side of Marycrest Street, and south side of Annhurst Street has been designated as snow emergency areas. When snow removal operations are in effect (snow accumulation of two inches or more), Stonehurst residents are to move vehicles from these areas to permit the placement of excess snow from the street clearing operations. Vehicles parked in these areas when the contractor comes to plow the streets are subject to being towed at the owner’s risk and expense by the Stonehurst Homeowners Association Board President, Vice President or a Designated Board member.
 
All streets will be cleared a minimum of two lanes and away from the vehicles where possible. Excess snow will be plowed to the side of the street opposite of the parking areas and on the medians. The intersection of Stonehurst Drive and Route 50 will be cleared to insure that snow piles do not obscure the vision of drivers entering Route 50.
           
b. PARKING SPACES:  Residents are responsible for the hand clearing of parking spaces for parked vehicles.  Snow removed from parking spaces shall not be dumped in adjacent parking spaces.  Also, residents shall not place snow removed from parking spaces adjacent to fire hydrants.
           
c. SIDEWALKS:  The contractor will follow the same priorities as that for the clearing of the streets and will clear the sidewalks up to and including the stoops of the residences.  The goal is to clear all sidewalks within four (4) hours after the snow has stopped falling.
 
d. BLIZZARD CONDITIONS: The contractor is afforded reasonable leeway in time constraints during blizzard conditions.
 
The Snow Maintenance Chair may be contacted for additional information.
