Snow Removal Guidelines The Village of Oregon Public Works Department follows the Snow & Ice Control Program put in place by the Village Board. The program designates certain areas, streets, sidewalks, alleys, parking lots, etc. into classes. These classes are ranked by their priority and snow removal is completed in class order.
The Public Works Department strives to plow and remove the snow from the designated routes and areas as efficiently and safely as possible. Please remember when there is a significant amount of snowfall the removal
process can take longer. Generally, during heavy snowfall events the snow removal crew will typically pass through an area twice; clearing a drive path first, followed with final plowing and clean-up. Please follow the DO’s and DON’Ts below to help the snow removal crew clear your street efficiently.
DO park your vehicle(s) in your driveway, off the street, especially in cul-de-sacs. DO OBEY all snow emergency rules/regulations, parking signage, and alternate side parking regulations. DO NOT push or blow snow into or across streets or pedestrian areas DO NOT pile snow in public right-of-ways DO NOT park perpendicular in cul-de-sacs Do NOT put trash and recycling carts in the street. Place in your driveway or the terrace area (area between sidewalk and curb)
You may view the Snow and Ice Control Program on the Village’s website.
Snow Removal on Sidewalks and Fire Hydrants Sidewalks need to be clear of snow and ice for pedestrian safety. Residents must shovel sidewalks within 24 hours of a completed snow event. The snow must be cleared the entire width of the sidewalk. Property owners who do not clear their Fire Department sidewalk promptly may be in violation of Village Ordinances and may face 131 Spring Street fines. In the event that ice has formed Emergency – 911 on the sidewalk and cannot be removed, the residents must use sand Non-Emergency and/or salt to effectively eliminate the 608.835.5587 dangerous conditions. www.oregonareafireems.org
