Trash Pickup Update
I called in to Allied Waste today to find out the status of trash pickup; their recording states that they are running behind due to the bad weather this week as well as the Christmas holiday, but they will be making pickups Sunday 31 Dec and Monday 1 Jan in order to catch up on trash collection.
They request that you leave your trash at the curb and ensure bags and cans are free of snow to make pickup easier.

Snow Removal Update
Due to limited snow removal equipment, the city follows a prioritization plan for snow removal that does not include residential streeets except under extreme conditions as determined by the Director of Public Works.
Because our streets are in such bad condition, we have contacted the City of Aurora about the plan for plowing the neighborhood streets, and have been informed that the Director of Public Works and City Manager have decided that all streets, including residential areas, will be plowed. So, the streets in the Lake Shore community will be cleared in due course in accordance with the city's snow removal plan.
The city typically does not permit private contractors to clear public streets, but due to current conditions, the city has waived this restriction in the event Homeowner's Associations wish to hire contractors to clear their streets ahead of time.
The city has provided a Frequently Asked Questions list regarding snow removal at http://www.auroragov.org/AuroraGov/News/027134 .
