What is the "public right-of-way"? |

This is the area of the City that has been platted for public use. In this area is found the public street, underground and overhead utilities.

| A |
The City has never planted trees in the public right-of-way. It is the responsibility of the adjacent property owner to maintain any vegetation in the right-of-way for the safety of the public. This includes keeping any trees trimmed to not obstruct the public's right-of-way or line of sight at intersections. |
| Q |

| Q |
When will the snowplow come by my house? |
| A |
In a snow/ice event the procedure is to first open the main arterials to allow access to emergency vehicles. The secondary streets and downtown areas are opened to allow travel by school buses and citizens. The residential streets are opened as soon thereafter as weather will allow. Snowplows can do their best work when no vehicles are parked at the curb. |
