Teach your children to stay behind the sidewalks when they see a truck coming. The heavy, wet snow coming off the plow is capable of being thrown several feet, and it can potentially injure you if you are too close.
-
Build snow forts, igloos and snowmen far away from the street and avoid using the snow banks on the edge of the road. Our trucks will often return to bump the snow back to the curb, and this can tear open or collapse their creations.

Place a marker, such as a survey flag, behind the back of your curb to help our drivers to identify the curb location and prevent lawn damage. Flags are available for pick up at no charge at our Municipal Services Service Center, 7700 Cottonwood. For more information, call 913.477.7880.

Remove portable basketball goals, hockey goals, skate board ramps and other structures from the street to avoid damage to these items and to allow plow trucks to reach the curb.
