The Village maintains approximately six snow plows/snow removal vehicles.  The policy is to attend to the major arterial streets first and the balance of the secondary streets thereafter. When it snows, the Village asks residents to please remove all vehicles from village streets to allow for faster, safer and more efficient snow plowing and snow removal. Village ordinances prohibit the parking of vehicles on village streets during snow emergencies. When a snow emergency is issued, please check the Village Website at www.shermanil.org, the Village Entry Signs and your e-mail if you are signed up for eLert, a free electronic alert system provided by the Village.  Click the following icon to learn more about eLert and how to sign up for the emergency alerts. Police officers or other officers of the village will require that you remove the vehicle from the streets. Neighborhood cul-de-sacs are especially difficult to plow so your cooperation is very much appreciated.

The Village also has a volunteer corps of individuals (Snow Birds) who also provide snow plowing services when needed.  They are called upon when needed and perform the same snow plowing functions as that of a permanent Public Works employee.
