Snow Removal
Monday, January 03, 2005
Already this season we have experienced a few major snow storms. During our snow removal we have noticed that there are several parked cars and City garbage cans on the streets overnight. This is not normally a concern, but for snow plows, this is a huge and difficult problem. Plows will pile up snow around parked cars, will not be able to plow as much of the street when they have to maneuver around cars or cans, and sometimes plows can actually hit parked cars or garbage cans. So please try to have any cars parked off the streets and cans removed quickly during the winter months. Also, please pay close attention to weather reports and if there is a storm coming, make certain that the streets in front of your homes are clear. Your efforts will help a great deal.
You may have noticed already that the City crews always try to clean off and sand the major streets in the City first. That is, your neighborhood street may not be cleaned off as quickly as a main collector street or an entrance to a neighborhood or subdivision. This is the best way to clean our streets and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. The City attempts to clean and make all streets safe after a snow storm. However, the major streets are always first priority for snow removal.
Christmas Tree Disposal
Sunday, January 02, 2005
As in years past, the City will have a dumpster for Christmas trees only located at the old City office building. If you use this service, please remember that the dumpster is only for real trees not plastic or metal. Please don’t place bags of any kind in the dumpster. Also, please remove all lights and ornaments and do not place trees in the dumpster that have been flocked. The dumpster is located on the west side of Redwood Road at the City Public Works facility and Fire Station.
