Description
As the winter season approaches - reminding you that there is no parking of any motor vehicle or other vehicle, or trailer on any street or adjacent road right of way within the Township from October 15 to April 15 of each year.
This ordinance is to allow township road crews to safely and efficiently remove snow during and after snow events.
In addition, information is provided for mailbox installations along township roads (see attachment). It goes with the territory… as everyone who lives in Harborcreek knows, we receive a lot of snow. Mailboxes will get hit by our plows. This can be due to a lack of visibility, on-coming traffic crowding the road, boxes that are installed incorrectly, and yes…because we are not perfect.
That being said, all standard steel mailboxes (not plastic) installed to township specifications will be repaired or replaced if the damage occurred because of direct contact with the plow. When we inspect the mailbox we are looking for paint left behind from the plow, tire tracks, type and location of the damage, and posts that are not already rotted. Damage that occurs from heavy wet snow thrown against the pole / mailbox will not be repaired or replaced. Posts and mailboxes must be able to withstand the force of the plowed snow pushed to the sides of the street.
If mailbox damage occurs due to township snow removal services it can be reported by email or call the township at (814) 899-3171. The examination, and subsequent repair or replacement of mailboxes will occur when time and weather permits.
