WINTER STREETS REMINDERSHelp 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 : Millcreek Township Code 40-21
1 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 .2Be sure not to plow excess snow into the roadways toward properties , across the street , into culde-sacs , or on sidewalks . This not only creates a hazard for the snow plows , but also for the general public .3Snow 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 .4According to Code 40-26 , the Township is not liable for damage to unlawfully parked or standing vehicle .
5The 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 .6Remove snow from around fire hydrants .7Remove leaves and other debris that may impede the flow of water into storm sewers . |
8Please notify the Township Streets Department of any hanging tree branches within the right-of-way .
