Snow Angels Pilot Program
The Snow Angels program attempts to match a Snow Angel with an address where the resident needs help clearing snow from the public sidewalks that are adjacent to their property. This program does not include private walkways or driveways. The program runs from November 1 through April 15 of the subsequent year.
