If there is no other alternative to pushing snow into the street, the private plow driver must plow off the windrow left across the street by re-plowing until the road is safe, the release reads. The Department of Public Works reminds local restaurant operators who have permitted outdoor dining nodes that they are responsible for all snow cleanup in the areas behind the node barriers. Restaurant owners are also responsible for cleaning the sidewalk along the front of their respective property, officials said. Did you like that story? Invite your friends to subscribe to Patch.
