Allouez Sidewalk Snow and Ice Removal Policy



With winter right around the corner The Village of Allouez Public Works Dept. would like to remind everyone of the Village policies regarding snow and ice removal from sidewalks.

1.      Allouez residents must shovel their sidewalk after all snowstorms, and maintain their sidewalk clear of snow and ice--even if the sidewalk is first plowed by the Village such as after a major snowstorm of 6-inches or more.  Residents have 48 hours after a snowstorm to complete sidewalk shoveling and clearing.

2.      Property owners on Webster Avenue and Allouez Avenue must shovel after light snowfalls (when the weather bureau reports less than a 3-inch snowfall).  The Village may plow if there is significant snow buildup due to street plowing, or heavy wet snow, or severe icing.  

3.      Because Brown County frequently plows large amounts of snow onto Riverside Drive, Webster Avenue and Allouez Avenue sidewalks, the Village will plow these sidewalks when the weather bureau reports a snowfall of 3-inches or more.  Allouez sidewalk plowing on Webster and Allouez Avenue will be done after Brown County finishes street plowing--to minimize the need for repeated shoveling by residents.  

4.      The Village will plow all main sidewalks including Libal Street , Webster Avenue, Allouez Avenue, Hoffman Road, Riverside Drive and primary school routes after major snowstorms of 6” snowfall or more.  Property owners must shovel after Village sidewalk snowplowing to maintain their sidewalk clear. 

Sidewalk Clearing Notice to Property Owners

Property owners will be notified via a letter placed in the rear door of a household if snow shoveling or ice removal does not comply with Village policy.  This will be at 48 hours after a storm event, with 48 hours allowed for compliance.
