For successful snow and ice
management,
Philadelphia Streets
Commissioner Tolson urges
residents to
follow
these tips:
______________________________________________ |
-
Apply any commercial de-icer on
steps and sidewalks early to
prevent residual moisture from
freezing over and creating icy
conditions.
-
Clear a sidewalk path at least
30 wide within 6 hours of the
end of the storm
as listed in the
Philadelphia Code (10-720)
-
Clear snow from neighborhood
sewer drains to allow melting
snow to drain.
-
Be conscious of the environment.
Use de-icing salts only as
much as needed.
One pound of de-icer can cover
100 to 200 square feet.
-
Salt should be applied as soon
as a light accumulation has
developed on the surface. This
will break the bond between
additional accumulations and the
pavement surface, and will make
it easier to shovel.
-
A final light application of a
de-icer may be required after
removal is completed to melt the
residual snow.
-
Make sure you park your car as
far away from the corner as
possible. Cars parked too close
to the corner limit the turning
radius of salting vehicles.
-
Stay tuned to local media for
further updates.
-
Check on sick and elderly
neighbors.
-
To report a street in need of
salting or plowing or for more
information on any Streets
Department program or service,
call 3-1-1.
