How do I keep plow trucks from pushing snow into my driveway? What is the best way to clear my driveway?
VBCRC works to maintain over 1,300 miles of roads each day during snow events. If trucks were to lift the blade at each driveway, the snow would instead by left in the road impeding the traveling public and causing a safety hazard. To avoid the "Second Shovel", clear an area directly before your driveway for the bulk of snow to be deposited into by the blade. Snow will follow the path of least resistance off the plow, emptying into the cleared area before your driveway. See the below buttons for graphics explaining the best practices to clear your driveway.
How do I report mailbox or yard damage?
In the course of snow removal, mailboxes are sometimes knocked down by Road Commission trucks. VBCRC's mailbox policy is to replace mailboxes that have been physically struck by the snow plow; however, if the mailbox or wooden post was broken off by the force of the snow coming off the plow blade, we do not replace or repair it. The VBCRC will investigate your mailbox damage and will let you know the determination. In the mean time, please contact your local post office to hold your mail until a determination can be made. Yards may also be damaged by wing plows to ensure the road maintains width for vehicles to safely travel the road. Reported yard damage will be investigated in the Spring following the snow melt. To report mailbox or yard damage, call our office at 269-674-8011 or report directly to SeeClickFix here.
