A Word From Public Works Winter Parking Ordinance Beginning November 1 and extending through March 31, parking is prohibit- ed on all city streets from 2:00am to 7:00am. 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 - dOUS hazardous situations, includ- HaZar pff ing slippery areas, frozen Waste prop. turday+ Octobe S. .12:00 O0am Hugublic W o ° P 5t 690013th ThiS collection event e hingtOn County' 43 y by W asted at 651- can be Contac 1-N11.• 6655 for more inf place - . pm S.

Also, residents should check their mail boxes to ensure they are sturdy and in good condition. Mail- boxes that are damaged by snow, and not actual plow contact will not be repaired by the City of Hugo. Street Sweeping The Public Works Department will begin sweeping paved city streets on October 14. Typically, sweeping will take place Monday through Friday, between 7:00am and 4:30pm. It will take about 8 weeks to sweep all streets. Note that there are private streets that may be swept at other times by private companies. Hydrant Flushing The Public Works Department will be flushing hydrants throughout the city starting September 9. It should take about two weeks to complete all hydrants. Flushing purges rust and stagnant water from the system. It is inevitable that some residents will receive rust colored water that could stain laundry. During this time, please check that water coming into the house is clear before use. Road Construction (continued firs.... rcasx-, .&, Washington County will be doing a full - depth reclamation or cold -in- place recycle on 170th Street (County Road 4A) between Elmcrest Avenue and the new roundabout at Hwy 61. Also, CSAH 7 will be reclaimed from Goodview Avenue (the county line) to Manning Avenue. These projects are planned to start this fall. Pavement reclamation involves pulverizing the pavement, adding materials, and com- pacting it as base below new asphalt pavement. Cold -in-place recycle pro- jects remove the asphalt, crush and size it, mix it with rejuvenating oils and place it back on the roadbed, all in one continuous process.
