Ever wonder why some streets get plowed and others have to wait? Do you know what you can do to help the snowplow drivers dig us all out? Streets are plowed in order of priority: First Priority: High traffic roads, school zones, steeper hills, and arterial and collector roads receive top plowing priority. Second Priority: Streets through residential subdivisions, including roads that connect to a ---PAGE BREAK--- meeting. collector street. Third Priority: Cul-de-sacs, circles, and dead- end streets. Please note this could take up to 48 hours after a major snowstorm ends. Safety first! When it keeps snowing, plows will continue to plow the bigger streets so safety vehicles can access main roads. Plow drivers take into account emergency situations. Things Residents Can Do Don't park on the street - Plow drivers may not be able to safely plow a street when cars are parked on the street. Be patient in large show events, and understand that some roads are lower priority. Refrain from driving, if possible, during snow storms. This helps plow drivers to clear roads more efficiently and safely. Don’t blow/shovel snow onto the road when clearing driveway or sidewalk. Snow can refreeze and cause ice build up. Keep a safe distance from snowplows, please. Be aware that snowplows may back up at anytime. Do not pass snowplows while they are plowing. Why do the plows push snow where they do? The weight of snow and traction on any given road sometimes determines where the snow ends up. Fire hydrants, ADA Ramps, school crossings, driveways, and mailboxes all must be considered. Plows will clear a lane first and come back after the storm to push the edges back to widen the road for future snow storage. Why is my street not plowed? Snow is still falling. People blow snow back into the road. It takes time to clear all the roads during a large storm. Too many cars parked on the road. ---PAGE BREAK--- For questions or concerns, the 24-hour dispatch phone number is 385-468- 6101. You may also email your comments to [EMAIL REDACTED]. RANKED CHOICE VOTING SURVEY MILLCREEK. The Millcreek election held on November 21, 2023 was the second time Millcreek opted into ranked choice voting (RCV), also known as instant runoff voting. The RCV voting method gives voters the freedom to rank candidates in order of their preference. Proponents of RCV explain that, "[V]oters rank their choices, first, second, third and so on. If someone wins over 50% during the first round, that’s your winner. But if no one crosses that threshold, the last place finisher is eliminated, and that candidate’s supporters are reallocated to their next backup choice. That process is repeated until someone wins over 50% of the votes." The 2023 race for City Council District 3 utilized RCV. Re-elected City Council Representative Cheri Jackson received a majority of votes in the first round, thereby rendering any subsequent rankings unnecessary. Millcreek residents are invited to participate in a follow-up election survey online, which can be found by clicking the button below. The City Council, acting in its capacity as the Board of Canvassers, certified the final election results at its meeting held on December 6, 2023. The report can be found online, here: The uncontested Council District 1 and Mayor races were previously cancelled by the City Council.
