Millcreek provides snowplowing services through a contract with the Salt Lake County Public Works department. We appreciate the hard work the Public Works crews devote to keeping Millcreek streets clear and safe. It also takes the help of our residents to make sure these storms do not have major impacts. Keeping sidewalks clear, not pushing snow onto streets, and not parking vehicles on the street when it is snowing or there is snow on the street are important ways residents can help. City Hall receives many phone calls and emails the day after a major snow storm from residents wondering about the City's snow removal laws or reporting an unplowed street or snow-covered sidewalk. Here are answers to commonly asked questions: WHY CAN'T I PARK ON THE STREET WHEN IT'S SNOWING? When cars are parked on the street, the plows cannot clear the roadway adequately and cars are at risk of being hit by a plow. Millcreek ordinances prohibit parking on city streets when it is snowing or snow is on the street during the months of November,through April." Ord. 11.20.130. Waste and recycling cans should also be removed from the street as soon as possible on collection day. A street won't be cleared if a driver does not feel the plow can be safely maneuvered. WHAT ABOUT MY DRIVEWAY HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO CLEAR MY SIDEWALKS? Clearing sidewalks is the responsibility of the property owner, occupant, or business owner whose property abuts the sidewalk. Ord. 4.32.100. Snow must be cleared within 12 hours after the snow has ceased falling. In the case of a storm happening between the hours of 5 pm to 6 am, sidewalks should be cleared by 8 am. If you need help clearing your sidewalk, consider reaching out to family, friends, neighbors, or local community groups. WHY CAN'T I SHOVEL SNOW ---PAGE BREAK--- APPROACH? Snowplow drivers make every effort to push snow off of roadways onto park strips or along the edge of roadways, but it is impossible to not push snow into driveway approaches. The City does not have the resources to clear the thousands of driveways in the City. Unfortunately, therefore, snow removal on driveway approaches is the resident’s responsibility. WHAT IF MY STREET HASN'T BEEN PLOWED? Please allow at least 24 hours after a storm before calling to report it. The best and most effective way to report a missed street is by calling the Salt Lake County Public Works Operations 24- hour emergency phone number at [PHONE REDACTED] or by emailing pwops- [EMAIL REDACTED]. INTO THE STREET? It is illegal to place or deposit snow, ice or other material from a sidewalk or driveway on any city roadway. Ord.14.20.105. Do not shovel or use your snowblower to push snow onto the street. It makes it more difficult to plow the street later, and the resulting icy patches pose a safety hazard for drivers and pedestrians. Please also be aware of storm drain inlets and keep them clear of debris so that melting snow doesn't back up into the streets or the neighborhood yards. WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO TELL THE CITY ABOUT SNOW ISSUES? You can report any concerns you have about snow removal through the city’s Report a Concern button on the city website. A major concern City Hall is hearing are complaints about landscaping/property management services, hired by property owners to clear their driveways and/or sidewalks, that push snow onto adjoining properties or onto the roadway. This is illegal and the property owner who has hired the company is responsible for the problem. If you utilize an outside service to keep up with snow removal, please be certain they understand and follow the rules. There are 169.99 centerline roadway miles in Millcreek. It takes an enormous effort to clear these miles of road and keep them safe for residents. During episodes like the recent storms, the plows will get to main roads as soon as possible, oftentimes clearing just enough for safety, move on to neighborhood roads and then to cul-de-sacs and dead ends. When a path has been cleared on as many roads as possible, the plows will return to complete edge to edge clearing. Please remember that vehicles parked along the roadways make this extremely difficult and hinder operations. Vehicles parked along roadways during snow events are subject to a ticket from the UPD. We appreciate the patience of our residents as the hard working crews work to ---PAGE BREAK--- keep us safe. Give the snow plows plenty of space and if you see a plow driving by, a friendly wave of thanks and a smile might be in order.
