Description
SNOW (WEATHER) EVENT
Vehicle Parking: For residents with off street parking, park off the road in your driveway. In the case of residents with steep driveways or multiple vehicles, park at the mouth of the driveway. In the cul-de-sacs, which are difficult, enough to plow, park all vehicles off the roadway. If your vehicle is parked in the roadway during a snow removal operation, our drivers will notify the superintendent and then the Police Dept will be notified and your vehicle may be towed. It could be several hours or even a day before a driver will return to clean the roadway where a vehicle is parked.
Mailboxes: Please check the condition and position of your mailbox. A mailbox is not permitted to extend over the edge of the roadway. Accidents do happen and if your mailbox is damaged during a plowing operation, please notify the township as soon as possible. If your mailbox is hit by snow and not the plow, it is not the township’s responsibility.
Driveways: Old Lycoming Township always receives complaints that our drivers plowed their driveways closed after they spent hours shoveling their driveway. Here are some suggestions:
• Wait until all plowing operations have ceased before shoveling your driveway.
• When shoveling your driveway, shovel 10’ to the approaching side of the driveway. This allows unloading of snow before the plow reaches the driveway and limits the amount of snow put in the driveway.
• When shoveling your driveway leave the last 3’ – 4’ snow covered until the plowing operation ceases. This will allow the snow being pushed back to remain on the plow and not in the freshly shoveled driveway.
• We ask residents that they do not shovel or push snow into the roadway. This causes a hazard for the traveling public and our drivers.
Above all, we ask that the residents please be patient!
