This issue has been an issue since we have lived in this location. Plows come by our house and cut the gradual curve too tight. It doesn't happen with every snow event but it happens enough. This is the first time this season it has happened. Last spring, our hopes were up because the street was marked by our house and within weeks a new sidewalk was installed and new soil was put in right up to the edge of the pavement. Much of his soil was washed down into the catch basin at the end of our driveway leaving the gully that was previously there. Later in the summer I put rocks in the area of the gully on our property to help keep the erosion down. This gully still exists on our neighbor's property to the east. one downside of having the sidewalk replaced was that there used to be a bit of a "berm" of higher ground between the sidewalk and the road. That "berm" was mostly removed when the sidewalk was replaced. My wife and I would prefer a curb at this location. There was a previous issue that my wife posted about the gully before the sidewalk was replaced. The "over plowing" issue should be prevented by a curb at this slight curve. years of "over plowing" has contributed to the soil erosion on my property and the neighbor's property, because the tearing out of large areas of grass has caused erosion of the soil along the edge of the pavement. Another solution is to pave the area that the plows keep on tearing up and the gully has developed.
