A Word From Public Works Winter Parking Ordinance Beginning November 1 and extending through March 31, parking is prohibited on all City streets from 2:00 am to 7:00 am. Also, if we receive two inches or more of snow any other time during the year, parking is prohibited at those times. This is to allow the Public Works Department to clear the snow from the roadways in a safe and efficient manner. Snow Removal The City of Hugo would like to remind everyone that it is against the law to deposit snow on or next to a public street. Minnesota State Statute 160.27 prohibits plowing, shoveling, blowing or otherwise placing snow onto any public road right-of-way, and doing so is punishable by a misdemeanor. Snow, which is moved to the public right-of-way, can create hazardous situations, including slippery areas, frozen ridges, bumps, sight obstructions and drainage problems. Property owners are liable should an accident occur as a result of improper snow placement. Also, residents should check their mailboxes to ensure they are sturdy and in good condition. Mailboxes that are damaged by snow, and not actual plow contact, will not be repaired by the City of Hugo. Housing Update Compost Site The compost site is located on the south side of 170th Street North approximately 1/2 mile west of Highway 61. The site is open for Hugo residents on Wednesdays from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm (or dusk) and Saturdays from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. This is a deposit site for grass clippings, leaves, and soft organic matter only. No brush, twigs, branches or woody materials accepted. Stormwater The City maintains many stormwater ponds, control structures, ditches, and wetlands. We ask residents to help us keep these features in good condition with one simple lawn care tip: Don't blow grass clippings, leaves, brush, or any organic material into the roadways or stormwater ponds. These decompose and turn into nutrients which cause algae blooms in ponds. If you live on a stormwater feature and you notice a structure is plugged please call the City so maintenance crews can remove the obstruction. Fall Clean -Up Day Fall clean-up day will be held on Saturday, October 14, 2017 at Hugo Public Works. This event will only be for City of ` Hugo residents and a photo ID will be required to verify residency in Hugo. Hazardous materials and electronics will be accepted free -of -charge from households only (no businesses).
