At the Feb. 9 Waterford Police Commission meeting, Quaker Hill resident Helen Kwasniewski told commissioners that some neighbors are redirecting private driveway snow across public roadways and onto adjacent properties, calling it unfair to burden others; commissioners received the comment but took no formal action.
Helen Kwasniewski, a Quaker Hill resident, told the Waterford Board of Police Commissioners on Feb. 9 that some people are plowing snow from private driveways across public roadways and onto neighboring properties.
"It is unfair to burden neighbors with additional snow piles," Kwasniewski said during the public input portion of the meeting.
The comment was recorded during public input; the minutes do not show any follow-up motion or directive from the commission. The board received the comment as part of its public input period but did not place a related item on the agenda or record a vote to investigate or change enforcement policy.
The comment raises a common local concern about driveway snow and public-right-of-way use; the meeting record does not identify whether the conduct reported involves violations of a local ordinance or calls for criminal enforcement. The minutes note the concern but list no staff assignments, timelines, or references to statutes.
The commission's meeting packet for Feb. 9 also included routine department reports that were received by the commission; no action was recorded in the minutes in response to Kwasniewski's remarks. The board adjourned at 6:16 p.m.
