Snow & Ice Removal 

During winter operations, please keep in mind that City crews plow streets in the following order of priority: 

1. Snow Emergency Routes
2. Secondary roadways
3. City-owned narrow streets and alleys
4. City-owned municipal lots

Please do not shovel your sidewalk until the City has finished plowing your street.  Several passes may be made over the course of the storm.  It is your responsibility to pile snow between the curb and sidewalk or in another appropriate area off of the street. 

IT IS ILLEGAL TO SHOVEL your snow into the street or to plow snow into the street from your driveway, parking lot(s), or other private property. 

Removing snow from fire hydrants and storm drains around your property is very helpful.

No person is permitted to obstruct or "save" any parking space within the City of Lebanon with items including, but not limited to, trash cans, furniture, barrels, barricades, etc. 

Please be considerate of your neighbors. Have a neighbor who’s not home, elderly or handicapped? Please take some time and help them out with this task.

Vehicles parked along any SNOW EMERGENCY routes must be moved when a SNOW EMERGENCY is declared.  Vehicles which are not moved will be ticketed and then towed by the City of Lebanon Police Department.  

The following are suggestions to avoid unnecessary inconvenience during a SNOW EMERGENCY:
