HomeMy Public PortalAbout2022 02-February NewsletterHey, while we have your attention, quick question:
On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being terrible and 10 being perfect), how do you think the
new snow removal contractor is performing and why?
Please email your responses and recommendations for improvement to
mayor@riverdaleia.org by February 9th.
Also, did you know?
• The contractor should remove ice and snow from the pavement (curb
to curb) no more than 24 hours after the precipitation ends for a
snowfall below 6 inches.
• The steepest hills and most highly traveled roads are prioritized for
first plowing and salting, followed by roads that collect traffic from
other roads (i.e. Kensington, Manor, Madison), followed by feeder
roads that do not collect traffic from other roads.
• The three bus stops will be cleared after the roads are completed.
• Concrete roads less than 1 year in age and not yet conveyed to the
City (Woods Estates Phase III) cannot be salted or plowed by our
contractor.
• At extremely cold temperatures, salt is less effective and refreezing
of melted ice and snow may occur. The contractor has professional
discretion in the use of salt to best create a safe surface to travel on.
• If a police, fire, medical, water main break, or other emergency were
to arise, the contractor could, upon request, leave the public right-
of-way to clear an area for emergency personnel; otherwise,
residents are required to clear all snow and ice from private
driveways left by plowing operations. Contractor will work with the
City to minimize impact to residents.
• If damage to property (e.g. mailboxes) occurs, residents should
contact City Hall. The contractor is required to repair/replace
damaged property.
• State Street (US-67) , Valley Drive, and Belmont Road are plowed by
other entities; concerns with these streets should be relayed to the
City, and the City will coordinate with those entities.

Did you know? 52.01 General Provisions states that:
All outdoor lighting on private or public property,
except as otherwise set out in this chapter, shall be
installed not to exceed fifteen (15) feet above ground
level. In addition, the installed lighting shall be
constructed and utilized in such a manner so that the
light source is shielded or filtered to prevent direct or
reflect light rays from being cast onto neighboring
residential property.
