Snow Removal NoticeThe Service Department staff does its best to keep the streets of Pickeringtonclear and safe during the winter months. Your cooperation and assistanceis greatly appreciated. As winter approaches, please be advised of thefollowing information on snow plowing by the City:

• City workers clear the main roads first, then side streets, and then subdivisions. It may be necessary to stop where they are and return to the main roads during instances of heavy, continuous snowfall.

• Please do not park cars on the streets during snow removal. This helps the plow drivers clear the streets and also avoids cars being “snowed in.” Please seeOrdinance Section 452.16 Snow Emergency: Parking Ban for complete informationat www.pickerington.net.

• It is up to each resident to make sure the postal service carrier can reach your mailbox for delivery. Snow can strike a mailbox, mailboxes that are properly maintained usually are not affected. It is the responsibility of the property owner to maintain mailboxes to withstand snow and wind and to repair them if they are damaged by snow removal. The City will not replace mailboxes damaged asa result of rotten posts or negligence.

• We make every effort to keep from plowing snow into driveways, but in most instances, it cannot be avoided. Before your street is plowed, push or shovel the snow or ice to the LEFT side of your driveway (as looking at your house from the street); this will minimize the amount of snow and ice that gets pushed back into your driveway from the snowplows. Snow being pushed into the street by residents clearing their driveways is dangerous and is also illegal. We are unable to plow out individual driveways and appreciate your understanding and cooperation if snow is pushed onto your property.

• The City of Pickerington is not responsible for damage occurring to basketball poles and/or nets placed in the city’s right of way or extending over the roadway; however, the property owner is responsible for the damage to city vehicles as a result of these objects. These objects are not only unsafe in the right of way, but illegal as well.

• Cul-de-sac plowing is especially difficult as plows cannot easily turn or have a place to put the snow. Snow will not be placed in the middle of the cul-de-sac turnaround due to safety concerns.

For more information, contact the Service Department at 614-833-2292.
