and/or driveway except under unusual circumstances. Putting snow on City streets from private property is in violation of Minn. Stat. 160.2715, Right-Of-Way Use Misdemeanors. In cul-de-sacs, 1-ton trucks will try to minimize snow windrows in driveways and push the majority of the snow onto the boulevard. SNOW STORAGE Ongoing snow and ice control efforts require the use of City owned right-of-ways and easements for storage of plowed snow. The right-of-way generally extends 10’ to 16’ behind the curb. Depending upon volume of snow, storage within the right-of-way could create sight obstructions at intersections. Intersection conditions will be reviewed case by case and resolved by appropriate methods. Where space does not allow for snow to be piled outside the driving lanes, the City will remove the snow by hauling. Timing of such hauling will be at the discretion of the Public Works Superintendent, Street Maintenance Supervisor, or their designee. ICE CONTROL The City of Roseville does not guarantee that streets or parking lots will be free of snow and ice after plowing. Bare, dry pavement should not be expected and may not be continuous on City streets throughout the winter months. The City attempts to maintain adequate traction for the motoring public. Planning for a winter storm is difficult. The differences in rate of rain, sleet, snowfall, moisture content, temperature, time of day, and wind make each storm unique. Melting conditions may also require some level of ice control. Ice control operations may consist of as few as a single truck applying material on isolated areas to the full fleet applying material citywide during a major ice control event. See Exhibit E for typical ice control routes. In order to remain cost effective, the Street Division will provide ice control measures at intersections of collector streets, priority streets, residential streets, hills, and curves. Ice control material will also be applied as deemed necessary on residential streets and at the beginning of cul-de-sacs. A variety of ice control products are available and City staff is continually monitoring the effectiveness, environmental impact, and cost of each. The Public Works Superintendent and Street Maintenance Supervisor will determine the appropriate combination of chemicals and sand to effectively control ice in the given weather conditions. Effect on the environment is of the highest priority in selection of ice control products. The City cannot be responsible for damage to grass or driveways caused by the ice control products and will not make repairs or compensate residents for ice control products damage to turf or driveways. PARKING ON CITY STREETS Providing quality snow removal on City streets requires the street to be free of vehicles or other obstacles. Parking on City streets is not allowed after a continuous 2” accumulation of snow for up to 48 hours or until the street is plowed full width, see City Ordinance Page 4of 7 Qbhf!28!pg!263
