Salting and Snow Plowing |
|||
| Salting and snow plowing are done by the Street Department. | |||
| State Routes and main arteries are the first priority. | |||
| Secondary Streets are done next, but not in any specific order. | |||
| Residents should refrain from parking on city streets when snow exceeds two (2) inches. | |||
| Mailbox damage caused by city snow plows
should be reported to the Street Department. It is City
policy that in instances where mailboxes are damaged by city
vehicles, and if they are irreparable, they will be replaced
with simple standard mailboxes only.
To ensure mail delivery and that your mailbox or post is not an obstruction in the Right of Way, follow the guides below when considering purchasing and/or installing a mailbox or post. Following these guides will also minimize your chances for mailbox damage incurred by vehicles traveling on your road.
