Sidewalk Snow & Ice Removal

A REMINDER TO VILLAGE RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES REGARDING SIDEWALK SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL

1. The Village will plow the main sidewalks including Webster Avenue, Allouez Avenue, Libal Street, Hoffman Road, Riverside Drive, Greene Avenue and St. Joseph Street after snowstorms of 3” snowfall or more. The Village plows its streets at a 3” snowfall as well. Property owners must shovel after Village sidewalk snowplowing to maintain their sidewalk clear of snow and ice.

2. After each snowfall the Village plows the roundabouts, village properties, and school sidewalk routes. Village sidewalk snowplowing will be completed within 48 hours of a snowfall including weekends. Refer to the Village sidewalk snowplowing map for further information.

3. Allouez residents must shovel their sidewalk after snowstorms, and maintain their sidewalk clear of snow and ice–even if the sidewalk is first plowed by the Village. This includes Webster Avenue, Allouez Avenue, Libal Street, Hoffman Road, Riverside Drive, Greene Avenue, St. Joseph Street and School Sidewalk Routes. Residents have 48 hours after a snowstorm to complete sidewalk shoveling.

4. Because the Brown County Highway Department frequently plows large amounts of snow onto Webster Avenue, Allouez Avenue and Riverside Drive sidewalks, the Village will provide additional snowplowing of these sidewalks when the weather and snow conditions dictate more frequent snowplowing.

Non-Compliance Penalty
The Village of Allouez Policy for Sidewalk Clearing Charge for Non-Compliance is as follows:

1st Notice $50 per lot (up to 100 ft) plus $10 per each 100 ft.
2nd Notice Two times the 1st Non-Compliance Charge
3rd Notice Three times the 1st Non-Compliance Charge plus Citation for
Violation of Sidewalk Clearing

Zoning Code Open House

Come join us for the Zoning Code Open House on Tuesday, January 21, 2020 from 5-6:30 p.m. at the Village Hall (1900 Libal Street). No formal presentation will be given, so feel free to come and go as you please and ask representatives questions about the draft! 

The Plan Commission began rewriting the Village Zoning Code in 2018, with the help of Duncan and Codametrics. This project is following years of research and discussion of how to address the existing outdated code, which was originally written in 1972. A new zoning code will align with our goals identified in our Comprehensive Plan and streamline development, while protecting the character and charm of Allouez. 

If you have specific questions, please contact Trevor Fuller, Planning and Zoning Administrator, at 920-448-2800 ext. 134 or trevor@villageofallouez.com
