5 General Snow Removal Guidelines for the Village of Oregon The Village of Oregon Public Works Department follows the Snow and Ice Control Program put in place by the Oregon Village Board. The program designates certain areas, streets, sidewalks, alleys, parking lots, etc. into classes. These classes are ranked by their priority and snow removal is in class order. The Public Works Department strives to plow and remove the snow from the designated routes and areas as efficiently and safely as possible. When there is a significant amount of snowfall the snow removal process takes longer. During heavy snowfall events the crews will typically pass through an area twice, clearing a drive path first, followed with final plowing and clean-up later. Here are some tips to follow to help the snow removal crews get your streets done more efficiently: Park your vehicle in your driveway (especially in the cul-de-sac areas) Pushing and blowing snow into streets and pedestrian areas as well as pushing snow across streets and piling in public right of ways is prohibited Do not stop or flag down Village plow trucks during snow removal Obey snow emergency rules and regulations Obey parking signage and alternate side parking ordinances Do not put trash & recycling receptacles in the road (place in your driveway or the terrace area) No perpendicular parking on cul-de-sacs. Thank you for your assistance with the snow removal process. To see the complete snow removal policy please visit the Public Works Department tab at Help Your Neighbor and Dig Out the Fire Hydrant! Please clear the fire hydrant at least 2 feet all the way around and make sure to clear a path for street access to the hydrant. This allows the Fire Department quick and easy access during an emergency. Please Shovel Your Sidewalks Promptly! Residents need to shovel their sidewalks within 24 hours of a completed snow event and clear the snow off the entire width of the sidewalk. Property owners who do not clear their sidewalks promptly may be in violation of municipal ordinances and may face penalties. Sidewalks need to be clear of snow and ice for pedestrian safety. In cases where ice has formed on public sidewalks and cannot be removed, the property owner must use sand or salt to effectively eliminate dangerous conditions. Page 5
