Coventry Highway Department Winter Road Notice:
There will be NO Maintenance/Snowplowing from December 1st thru April 15th on the following Town Seasonal Roads:- Wiley Horton Rd from Spisak Rd west to NY State Route 235.
- Bowbell Rd from Wiley Horton (Osmond driveway) south to Seymour Hill Rd (90 degree corner).
- Seymour Hill Rd from NY State Land Trailhead (NYSEG Camp) to Bowbell Rd (90 degree corner).
There is "NO PARKING" on the sides of Town maintained Roads YEAR ROUND, although parking on the shoulder is tolerated during hunting season, long term parking of vehicles in the "right of way" will result in the vehicle being towed at the owner's expense.
WATER RUN OFF: Landowners will be held responsible for damages to the Road/Street, Shoulder and ditches that can become dangerous and icy due to pumping water from residents' basements. Allowing the water to enter the Road/Street creates slippery/icy conditions for cars, pedestrians and snow plows. Residents are reminded that it is a STATE LAW that prohibits the pushing of snow into the road or across any town road when cleaning out their driveways and mailboxes. This freezes and causes a hazard for motorist and damages snow plowing equipment
Legal Notice: Driveway Clearing
The Town of Coventry would like to remind the Public NOT to push snow from driveways into the travel portion of any Town maintained road. Furrows across the roadway left from pushing snow from driveways can freeze and cause a traffic hazard to the motoring public and may cause damage to town equipment and travelers vehicles. Article 1219 of New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law makes it illegal to plow, shovel or blow snow into a street or highway. This law also covers other items likely to pose a hazard to motorists including wood, glass, nails, wire, cans, etc. This law also stipulates that anyone that places or permits to be placed upon any highway any material which interferes with the safe use of the highway shall immediately remove the same or cause it to be removed. This includes snow. If you are a homeowner and you hire a person to plow your driveway, and you permit him/her to plow the snow into the road, you could be cited under this law.
Thank You for your cooperation.
