Announcements PUBLIC MEETINGS City Council Wed., 2/22/21 Work Session 6PM Regular Meeting 7PM 3330 S 1300 E City Council Special Meeting NEWS SNOW FAQS MILLCREEK. Since the major winter storm we had on Wednesday, Salt Lake County Public Ops and UDOT have been hard at work to get Millcreek streets cleared. We are grateful for the long hours these hard working crews put in every winter to ensure our streets are safe. Additional snow is forecast and crews will continue to do their best to clear up from the Wednesday storm and get back out again to clear streets after future storms. ---PAGE BREAK--- Tues., 2/24/21 6:30PM 3330 S 1300 E Agendas Below Meetings will be virtual Click here for link to Live Stream The City works hard in cooperation with our partners to keep the roadways clear and safe but it takes the help of all 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 snow is on the roadway are important ways residents can help. City Hall receives many phone calls and emails the day after a major storm from residents wondering about snow removal code or calling to report an unplowed street or sidewalk. Please take a look at these answers to some commonly asked questions. WHY CAN'T I PARK ON THE STREET WHEN IT'S SNOWING? Millcreek ordinance states (11.20.130 Parking Prohibited When) that no person shall park a vehicle on any city street when it is snowing or snow is on the street during the months of November, December, January, February, March, and April. If there are cars parked on the street, the plows cannot clear the roadway adequately and cars are at risk of being hit by a plow. If a driver does not feel the plow can be safely maneuvered around illegally parked cars, that street will not be cleared. Residents should remove all vehicles from roadways, including trailers and campers. Garbage and recycling cans should be removed from the street as soon as possible on collection day. WHAT ABOUT MY DRIVEWAY APPROACHES? 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 throughout the City. Unfortunately, therefore, snow removal on driveway approaches is the resident’s responsibility. WHY CAN'T I SHOVEL MY SHOW INTO THE ROADWAY? It is unlawful for any person removing snow, ice or other material from a sidewalk or driveway to place or deposit said materials on any city roadway. (Ordinance 14.20.105 Placing Snow Upon Highway Prohibited) 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. Also, please be aware of storm drain inlets and keep ---PAGE BREAK--- them clear of snow and debris so that melting snow doesn't back up into the streets or the neighborhood yards. HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO CLEAR MY SIDEWALKS? Clearing sidewalks is the responsibility of the property owner or business owner whose property abuts the sidewalk. (Ordinance 14.32.100 Snow Removal; Required). Property owners are required to clear snow from sidewalks within twelve hours after the snow has ceased falling. In the case of a storm happening between the hours of 5:00 PM to 6:00 AM, sidewalks should be cleared by 8:00 AM. Please be considerate of pedestrians and keep your sidewalk clear. WHAT DO I DO IF MY STREET HASN'T BEEN PLOWED? If your street has not been plowed, please allow at least 24 hours after a storm before calling to report it. You can report a missed street through the City website millcreek.us by clicking “Report a Concern,” or by email at [EMAIL REDACTED]. You can also contact Salt Lake Public Works/Operation 24-hour emergency phone number at [PHONE REDACTED]. More information on snow removal in Millcreek can be found in our Snowplow FAQs.
