Snow Re The City Council pted a snow removal policy. Snow plowing operations will not generally be considered for a snowfall of less than 1.5 inches. "Snow Plow Routes" will be plowed first. These are high volume streets which connect major sections of the City and provide access for emer- gency services. The "Snow Plow Routes" are: Mill Road, Peltier Lake Drive, Mound Trail, Peterson Trail, Brian Drive and Center Street. Second priority streets are those streets providing access to schools and commercial busi- nesses. Third priority streets are low volume residential streets. Fourth priority cul-de-sacs, short dead end streets and City parking lots. Keep snow off streets A reminder: It is against state law to deposit snow, slush or ice on the street. It can cause hazardous driving and walking conditions for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Number 1 RecyclelS A superior job by all residents of Centerville for recycling. In 1995 residents recycled more at the curb than any other city in Anoka County. An award for this effort was presented at the September 11 City Council Meeting. Way to go!
