Commercial Snow Removal in De Pere
Snow and ice management for De Pere's downtown districts, business parks, and commercial properties on both sides of the Fox River.
Two Downtowns, One River, Zero Margin for Error
De Pere is split east and west by the Fox River, and it's effectively two commercial districts with two different sets of problems. The historic Main Avenue district on the west side and the Broadway corridor downtown on the east both have tight storefront frontages, angled parking, and sidewalks that open directly onto the street — there's nowhere convenient to put snow.
That's a stacking problem before it's a plowing problem. Downtown De Pere alone carries more than 40 dining establishments plus retail, and a pile in the wrong place costs a business its parking for the rest of the season.
Out on the west side business park and the commercial corridors, it's the opposite job — wide lots, long drive aisles, and loading access that has to stay open regardless of what fell overnight. We run both.
What We Handle

Sidewalk Clearing
Walks, entrances, and ADA ramps cleared by hand and walk-behind equipment.
Anti-Icing & Brining

Know the Rules
Local Snow Ordinances
What De Pere RequiresUnder Section 22-18 of the De Pere Municipal Code, snow and ice must be removed from sidewalks within 48 hours after a winter storm — a longer window than neighboring Green Bay, though the Director of Public Works can extend it during unusually harsh weather. If sidewalks aren't cleared, the city can remove the snow and bill the abutting property owner.
Two details catch commercial properties out. First, if ice is frozen too hard to remove, the ordinance still requires the walk to be kept strewn with sand or salt until it can be cleared — the clock doesn't stop because it's stuck. Second, no snow may be moved from a parking lot, business property, or service station onto any public right of way, and stored snow can't obstruct vehicle or pedestrian sight lines. On a tight downtown lot, that dictates the whole stacking plan.
