discharge shall go onto the boulevard area of the street. There is no known way to keep snow <br />from filing the end of driveways as the plow passes by. <br /> <br />Sanding Salting maywill start as soon as the vehicles currently equipped with sanding devices <br />have completed their plow routesoccur while plowing depending on the conditions. Generally <br />intersections hills and curves are salted during plowing. If severe ice conditions exist, the <br />sanding trucks may be pulled from their plow routes to being sandingsalt applications may be <br />more widespread. <br /> Other plow units will then complete the plow routes of the vehicles used to sand <br /> <br />Salt and sand shall be ordered and mixed in controlled quantities, based upon usage, in order to <br />avoid excessive storage. The quality of the material is affected by long storage. The salt and <br />sand is usually mixed at between 15% to 20% or approximately 18 tons of salt every 100 tons <br />of sand.is purchased from Ramsey County. It is loaded by Ramsey County operators that <br />measure tonnage via scales on the loader. Excess salt returned to storage is estimated and <br />recorded by the plow operator. <br /> <br />The City of Arden Hills does not have a dry pavement policy so those using City maintained <br />rights-of-way are expected to exercise careful judgment and caution during winter months. <br /> <br />During light to normal snowfalls, streets shall be plowed to full width as soon after the initial <br />pass as possible. During heavier snowfalls, the streets shall be plowed as wide as possible <br />initially and widened as the storm intensity lessens. After the storm subsides, clean-up <br />operations shall begin in order to clear intersections and snow storage areas along corners and <br />boulevards. It is the City's intent to complete the initial plowing and sanding salting operations <br />within twenty-four (24) hours of light snowfalls and within seventy- two (72) hours of heavy <br />snowfalls. Major blizzards may require more time. <br /> <br />PARKING RESTRICTIONS <br />On-street parking is not compatible with efficient snowplowing operations. Vehicles left parked <br />on the street for extended periods of time create significant operational problems for <br />snowplow operators as well as safety problems due to packed snow and ice remaining on the <br />roadway around the vehicle. The City’s Ordinance prohibits parking of vehicles on City <br />streets after the accumulation of two inches or more of snow, with the prohibition continuing <br />until snow removal or plowing thereof has been completed. Any vehicle parked in violation <br />of this Ordinance is subject to a parking citation and is also declared to be a safety hazard <br />and nuisance. This nuisance may be summarily abated by removing and towing away such <br />vehicle under the direction of the Ramsey County Sheriff s Department. Enforcement of this <br />Ordinance shall be directed by the City Council. <br /> <br />SNOW REMOVAL <br />Certain locations within our community may require additional service after snowplowing <br />operations cease. This shall be referred to as "snow removal". Snow removal hereinafter will be <br />defined as the loading and trucking of snow to an approved site under the direction of the O & <br />MPublic Works Director or his designated representative. This service may be approved when
