Winter snow removal and on-street parking

Dear McCallsburg residents,

As the winter season approaches, the City of McCallsburg would like to remind all residents of the importance of keeping our streets clear to allow for safe and efficient snow removal operations.

During snowfall and winter weather events, residents are STRONGLY encouraged to remove vehicles from city streets whenever possible. Vehicles parked along the streets can create obstacles for snowplows, making it difficult for them to properly clear roadways and maintain safe driving conditions.

IMPORTANT REMINDER REGARDING PARKED VEHICLES:

Residents who choose to park their vehicles on city streets during snow removal operations should be aware that snowplows may push snow around or alongside parked vehicles if they are on the streets, resulting in those vehicles becoming plowed in.

If your vehicle becomes plowed in due to snow removal operations, it is the vehicle owner’s responsibility to remove the accumulated snow. The city WILL NOT have the snowplows return to clear snow from around parked vehicles or plow them out.

Our snow removal crews work diligently to clear city streets as quickly and safely as possible. Returning to previously plowed areas to clear snow around individual vehicles delays operations and takes valuable time away from keeping our roadways safe for everyone.

We ask all residents to help by utilizing driveways and off-street parking whenever possible, especially when snow is forecasted or snow removal operations are underway.

The City of McCallsburg appreciates your cooperation and understanding as we work together to keep our community safe throughout the winter months.

Thank you for doing your part to make snow removal operations safer and more efficient!
