FAQs • How do I prevent snow buildup at the end of my drivew

How do I prevent snow buildup at the end of my driveway?: Windrows are snow piles left at the mouth of the driveway. Although these can't be avoided, residents can minimize the problem by clearing a 15-foot area of the curb line in advance of the drive. The Missouri Department of Transportation shared a video on the best way to do this. The City unfortunately doesn't have the staff to remove windrows from every driveway. Residents are responsible for clearing their own windrows.
