The City of Oakwood Ohio issued the following announcement on February 1.
Snow Plowing and Salting Policy Reminders
The safety of our public roadways and sidewalks is a high priority in Oakwood. In the event of a major snowfall, the City takes the following actions to keep streets, alleys and sidewalks clear:
Street Plowing: During heavy snowfall, we plow every street at least once. Please help us during snowfall events by not parking your vehicle on the streets, unless absolutely necessary.
Street Salting: Major streets and intersections take priority, along with steep hills. Flat residential streets may also be salted, but to a lesser degree due to environmental and cost considerations.
Sidewalk Plowing: When there is an accumulation of approximately 1” or more of snow, we dispatch our sidewalk plows. Plows will typically make one pass through the city. Please remember that while our city offers this unique sidewalk plowing service, under city ordinance it is the property owner’s responsibility to keep sidewalks at their frontage clear of snow and ice.
Alley Plowing: Alleys are plowed after an accumulation of approximately 4” or more of snow.
Driveway Plowing: If you are plowing your driveway, please make arrangements so that the snow is not pushed into or across the street. Also, please remember that it is the property owner’s responsibility to make certain their own driveway is clear of snow and ice to allow the City refuse vehicles to collect the weekly trash in a safe and efficient manner.
