Things to Know Before it Snows
Snow Removal Policy
Snow removal in Lakewood starts as soon as snow accumulation reaches two inches. The goal of the maintenance crew is to have all streets plowed and treated by 6:00 AM for the residents’ morning commute to work and school.
Storms are unpredictable and come with many variables, therefore, please keep in mind that each storm and its circumstances dictate the policy of snow removal. The LPOA is responsible for snow removal on all streets within Lakewood with the exception of: Lakewood Blvd., Lake Dr., Gregory Dr., Channel Dr., Dick Howser Dr., Fairway Homes Dr., Northgate Crossing and Beechwood. Those streets are the responsibility of the City of Lee’s Summit.
Driveways and Sidewalks Responsibility of the Parcels: Lakewood Bay, Landings, Lakeshore Townhomes, Lakeshore Condos, Waters Edge, Clubhouse Cottages, Lakewood Shores, Chapel Ridge-Woods, and Chapel Ridge-Greens.
Lakewood Maintenance Does All Other Streets.
TIPS TO FOLLOW:
• Park as many cars as possible within your driveway. If a street is crowded with
vehicles, it cannot be plowed or treated properly.
• Keep curb clear of obstacles (trashcans, boxes, etc.)
• When using snow blowers or shoveling snow from your driveway, please try to direct output to the yard and not into the street. If possible, clear snow from around fire hydrants so they can be easily located during emergencies.
• Do not make snow tunnels or “snow forts” on or near the street and driveways.
• Please be patient with maintenance! If you feel the job was not done properly, you are welcome to contact the administrative office. Staff ’s first priority after a snow storm it to open up the roadways, followed by a return to each area for more detailed clean up.
