The Town of LaSalle would like to remind all drivers and property owners of our winter maintenance and snow removal tips for safety this winter season. 

During winter events snow removal and/or salting begins with the main roads first followed by residential streets. Snow removal takes time especially in heavy accumulation. If you see snow removal equipment, please keep a safe distance away. Snowplows can create temporary white-out conditions with blowing snow and have limited control of the amount and direction of the snow coming off the blade. The Town of LaSalle also clears and salts municipal parking lots and facilities. 

During winter snowfall, property owners are encouraged to: 

  • Refrain from pushing driveway snow back onto the road as this can create a hazard to the road users 

  • Remove vehicles and sports equipment from the road and park in your driveway 

  • Keep catch basins clear of snow and ice for proper drainage during a thaw 

  • Keep fire hydrants clear and visible to assist emergency service personnel 

  • Clear snow and ice from the municipal sidewalk abutting your property  

  • Place garbage cans and recycle bins in driveway approach, not on snow banks or the road. 

It is recommended that residents wait to clear their driveway approaches until the plows have been able to clear the curb lanes. During snow removal, the equipment operators cannot lift their blade every time they come to a driveway approach. 

Please see the snow removal route map for information about snowplow routes. We appreciate your patience and understanding during winter weather events. Let’s work together to keep our roads and sidewalks safe this season.
