Weyburn police received a complaint regarding a homeowner pushing snow onto the street on Wednesday. Property owners are reminded that it is an offence under the bylaw to shovel, push, blow or otherwise deposit snow onto a city street.
During times of significant snowfall, it may be difficult to leave snow somewhere on your property, but the reason for the bylaw is to not further congest the street and parking areas with more snow than necessary, which adds to the often already poor driving and parking conditions.
