Appendix F. Website Information <br />f;1[1Ii.'l_A A-11 1 7-5 <br />The City of Orono has approximately 50 miles of roads, as well as some trails and municipal parking lots <br />which are maintained by the Public Works Department from early November to late March. The City <br />adopted the attached Snow Plowing and Ice Control Policy to define and provide reasonable snow <br />plowing and ice control services on City roads for routine travel and emergency services and to provide <br />such services in a safe and cost effective manner while balancing personnel resources and environmental <br />concerns. <br />The city's snow plow plan varies depending upon the amount of snow that falls. If less than 2 inches falls, <br />only major streets in the city system are plowed. Ice control is performed at stop signs, hills, bridges and <br />curves and the entire system. If more than 2 inches of snow falls, all city streets are plowed curb -to -curb. <br />Plowing all streets, including the removal of snow from cul-de-sacs, requires 8 to 10 hours. <br />Parking <br />Parking on all city streets and municipal parking lots is prohibited from 2:00 a.m. - 6:00 a.m. all <br />year. Parking on all city streets is prohibited at any time when there is 2" or more of snow until the streets <br />are cleared. Please refrain from parking on city streets whenever snow or ice conditions may require <br />plowing. <br />Shovel Fire Hydrants <br />The Fire Department asks residents to shovel out fire hydrants near their homes. Keeping hydrants clear <br />of snow can substantially reduce the time it takes firefighters to put out a fire. <br />Mail & Other Services <br />Keep your mailbox clear of snow to ensure mail delivery. If it snows on collection day, keep garbage cans <br />and recycling bins away from the end of the driveway. <br />Clearing Driveways <br />Do not shovel, plow or blow snow into the street. Blowing snow in the street makes it more difficult to <br />clear streets (especially cul-de-sacs). <br />Sidewalks & Trails <br />Property owners are responsible for keeping public sidewalks adjacent to their property clear of snow. <br />For Questions or concerns related to the Snow removal please contact Orono Public Works at #########. <br />11 <br />
