All snow and ice removed from private driveways or any other portion of private property shall be stored on the property from which it was removed. 2\. Snow and ice shall not be pushed, plowed, snow-blown or shoveled across or onto the traveled portion of a street, except for a very brief period of time during the snow removal process as necessary to turn a snow removal vehicle around and to push or blow the snow and ice back onto the private property from where it came. 3\. Piles of snow stored adjacent to public rights-of-way shall be located such that: i. Snow and ice piles do not form which interfere with the City's snow removal equipment and jolts plow drivers. ii.
