Streets FAQ's
Why is my street the last one plowed? City streets are plowed on a priority basis. First priority is given to collector streets, hills, and other high priorities. Second priority is arterial streets. Third priority is residential streets, cul-de-sacs, and dead ends. It may take ten to twelve hours after a snow storm to clear all of the streets.
Can I push the snow from my driveway or sidewalk onto the street? No, this could cause a hazard for people driving on the street and will also result in a citation.
Why do the snowplows plow in our driveways? Our initial effort is to keep the streets open for travel. As time allows we will plow the street back to the curb and gutter. This helps provide for other services such as garbage pick up and mail delivery. You can help avoid extra snow from being pushed into the driveway by piling the snow on the downstream side of the driveway.
How often do you sweep the streets? Weather permitting we will start sweeping in March and sweep every 7 weeks until October. Every street should be swept. Obstacles such as parked cars, vegetation, trees and other objects blocking the street may prevent us from sweeping in front of your home or business.
Why does the city put small rock chips on the road? The small rock chips are a surface treatment commonly referred to as a chip seal. Chip seal treatments provide increased traction, longer pavement life and decreased maintenance costs.
Do I need a permit to plant trees in the park strip? Yes, large trees damage sidewalks, curb and gutter, decrease visibility, and can be a hazard for people walking on the sidewalk. The city requires a permit to be filled out and approved. Tree types must be selected from the tree list on the permit. For more information click here.
There is a pothole in the road what should I do? Please call the Public Works Department at 801-394-5541 ext. 1201.
The street light in my neighborhood is not working? Please call the Public Works Department at 801-394-5541 ext. 1201.
