Why doesn't the plow driver lift the blade so there isn't a berm left in my driveway?

Category: Snow Comments

Plow drivers in Spokane Valley don't life plow blades at driveways because:

  • Lifting plow blades isn't always effective to avoid leaving berms.
  • Lifting the blade at each intersection would create a berm in the travel lanes, creating a safety issue for drivers.
  • Lifting the plow blade at each driveway in the city would significantly delay completion of plowing.
  • The additional time needed to complete plowing would increase the costs, placing more financial burden on tax payers.
