Snow marker guidelines

Ready or not, the snow is coming.

Although the town no longer sells snow markers (available at your local hardware store), you are still permitted to place snow markers on your property so long as the guidelines set forth by the Town Board are followed.

Guidelines are as follows:

  • Only breakaway markers will be permitted.
  • Markers must not be placed closer than three (3) feet to the edge of the blacktop.
  • Markers must not be placed closer than ten (10) feet from each other.

Markers not following the above guidelines may be removed from their location by a Town Crew member and notified by a tag indicating correct placement. A subsequent failure to follow the above guidelines after receiving notice will be subject to removal by the Town of Grand Rapids and/or possible forfeiture as per Road Ordinance No. 19 and Schedule of Fees and Forfeitures Ordinance No. 39.

In the use of temporary snow markers, the residents understand that the Town of Grand Rapids will not be liable for any breakage or replacement of said markers.
