• Should the city of Yorkville clear public trails and sidewalks after heavy snowfall? (shawlocal.com) — Yorkville officials are weighing whether to start plowing more public trails and sidewalks, especially near schools, after the city’s biggest snowfall in years. For now, the public works committee is gathering data on pedestrian use and potential priorities, while plows will continue focusing on main roads, neighborhood streets, and limited park and bridge walkways. Residents are also asked to clear snow around nearby fire hydrants.
