TopQ: Why did the City block my driveway or bury my sidewalk when they plowed my street?

City of Lafayette - Frequently Asked Questions
Problems may arise for residents when snow piles up on sidewalks and driveways are blocked because of snowplow activities.

Plowing to the center of the road would leave your driveway open, but it would not provide enough room for fire trucks and other emergency vehicles to operate.
