H
elp us make a difference this
winter by making our roadways
SAFE! The Streets Department’s
number one goal is keeping roadways
clear to allow any emergency
vehicles (police, ambulances, and fire
departments) access to and from your
residence! Please review and practice
these easy steps below:
1
Millcreek Township Code 40-21
prohibits anyone from leaving any
vehicle on the street during winter
snow removal. Vehicles left in the road
after being given notification will be
towed at the owners’ expense.
2
Be sure not to plow excess
snow into the roadways toward
properties, across the street, into cul-
de-sacs, or on sidewalks. This not only
creates a hazard for the snow plows,
but also for the general public.
3
Snow plow drivers are required to
back up frequently and cannot see
you in their mirrors. Please use caution
maintaining a safe distance and give
the plows ample room.
.
4
According to Code 40-26, the
Township is not liable for damage
to unlawfully parked or standing
vehicle.
5
The Township will not be
responsible for lawn damage if
the following precautions are not
taken: Lawn stakes must be installed
by November 1st each year and are
permitted through April 15th. Yard
marker stakes need to be 4 feet tall and
placed 1 foot away from the edge of
the paved road.

7
Remove snow from around fire
hydrants.
Remove leaves and other debris
that may impede the flow of water
into storm sewers.
8
Please notify the Township Streets
Department of any hanging tree
branches within the right-of-way.
9
Make sure your trash and recycling
containers are clearly visible at the
curbside and off the road.
These regulations help the
snowplow operators do a more
efficient job, while helping to ensure
all our residents are safe! For additional
questions, please call the Millcreek
Township Streets Department at
