The Mount Pleasant Public Works Department is gearing up for the weekend winter storm. Here are some reminders for Mount Pleasant residents that will ensure the City can provide effective and safe traffic flow.
All residents are asked to limit or remove vehicles parked on side streets. These vehicles can be a hindrance to proper snow removal. City ordinance states vehicles parked on side streets and in public parking lots must be moved every 24 hours
City Ordinance requires residents to remove snow from sidewalks within 24 hours of the end of the storm to ensure safety of postal carriers and pedestrians.
City Ordinance also states that snow removed from driveways should not be deposited in the street.
A couple of other notes:
After a snow storm residents are asked to clear a path to a fire hydrant if there is one in front of your property. Also, be sure to clear sidewalks, steps and porches leading to mail boxes. If you are a rural resident try to clear the area in front of your mail box so the rural postal carrier can get as close as possible to your mail box.
