Snow Removal/Plowing

1. Does the Town of Avon have a Snow and Ice Control Policy?: Yes we do! This policy is also called a "Snow Removal Policy". The most up-to-date digital version can be found on our website at https://www.avongov.org/DocumentCenter/View/964/Snow-Removal-Policy-PDF?bidId=

2. When do we start plowing the roads?: 2 inches or more of snow, we start plowing the primary roads. Once primary roads are done, we start the secondary roads/neighborhoods.

3. Why did you plow snow into my driveway?: There is not a way to avoid plowing snow into driveways. Attempts will be made to keep excess amounts from accumulating; however, each driveway will receive a certain amount of snow.

4. Can I shovel my driveway snow into the street?: No, if this occurs the Town will not be responsible for re-plowing streets.

5. Why did you put brine down on the roads? They are clear.: We try to be proactive when possible, pre-treating primary roads and areas where slick spots exist.

6. What are the primary roads?: Gibbs Road, CR 450 E, CR 475 E, CR 500 E, CR 525 E, Vestal Road, CR 625 E, Avon Ave, Dan Jones Road, CR 900 E, Ronald Reagan Parkway, CR 1050 E, Raceway Road, CR 200 N, CR 100 N, CR 91 N, CR 100 S, Oriole Way (CR 150 S), CR 200 S, and CR 300 S

7. Why did you block my car in?: During snow storms, you are not to park on the street. This is dangerous and makes it very hard to plow our Town Roads. Please move your vehicles into your driveways, so that the plow trucks can do their job safely and thoroughly.
