<br />7 <br /> <br />SNOWPLOWING <br /> <br />MAILBOX REPLACEMENT POLICY <br /> <br />The winter season is fast approaching and we <br />alllmow what that means - Snowplowing! The Public <br />Works Department is responsible for clearing all city <br />streets and municipal parking lots. This equates to over <br />300 lane miles of roads. The Public Works Department <br />makes every attempt to avoid damage, but because of <br />the conditions encountered during plowing and the size <br />of the equipment used, it is sometimes difficult to judge <br />where the edge of the pavement ends, and where the <br />grass begins. <br />The City retains an easement on the edge of <br />the road for snow storage purposes. When sod is <br />damaged due to plowing in this easement it will be <br />repaired, in the spring, with blacl( dirt and grass seed. <br />Irrigation systems, landscaping and plant materials <br />placed in the City's easement will not be repaired and <br />are the responsibility of the homeowner. <br />Several things can be done to diminish the <br />chance of damage to the easement near your home. <br /> <br />1) Place wooden lath every 20 to 30 feet along <br />the boulevard to mark the road edge. <br />2) Pay special attention when staking corners and <br />radiuses, as they are difficult to judge after a <br />snowfall <br />3) Checl( the condition of your mailbox. Is the <br />main post rotted? Is the box itself firmly <br />secured to the post? Make repairs now before <br />the weather turns cold and the ground is frozen. <br />If you have any questions about snowplowing, <br />please call Ramsey Public Worl(s at (612) 427-8254. <br /> <br /> <br />ICE RINK SCHEDULE /1\ ". <br />AND CLOSING --- /' <br />GUIDELINES <br /> <br />Ice rinl(s at Ramsey Elementary School (15100 <br />Nowthen Boulevard N.W.) and Central Parl( (7925 <br />161 st Avenue N.W.) are open weekdays from 3:30 p.m. <br />to 9:00 p.m. (10 p.m. ifneeded); Saturdays from 9:00 <br />a.m. to 10:00 p.m.; and Sundays from noon to 8:00 <br />p.m. <br />Rinks will be closed if: <br />1. Temperatures are 10 degrees below zero or lower, <br />and expected to remain so. <br />2. Rinks are in unsafe conditions due to warm <br />weather. <br />3. Attendant may close if weather conditions become <br />severe and are expected to remain so. <br />4. Temperatures are 32 degrees or above. <br /> <br />Mailboxes installed and maintained to City U.S. Post <br />Office regulations which are damaged as a result of direct contact <br />by City snow removal equipment will be temporarily repaired <br />within 48 hours of receiving notification of such damage. If the <br />mailbox cannot be temporarily repaired, a portable mailbox will <br />be set in place so mail service will be continued. The City will <br />replace the damaged mailbox structure the following spring with <br />a standard No.1 black, white, or silver mailbox mounted on 4- <br />by 4- inch treated post. <br />Residents whose mailboxes are lmocl(ed down as a <br />result of direct contact by City snow removal equipment may <br />request $75 allowances, if they so choose, to replace the mailbox <br />structures themselves, relieving the City of any further obligation. <br />In such cases, the City will provide portable, temporary mailboxes <br />until the following spring. <br />Mailboxes, which are not installed to City and U.S. Post <br />Office regulations or are damaged due to snow deposited from <br />plows (versus being hit by City snow removal equipment), will <br />not be replaced. The City is not responsible for damage to <br />media or paper boxes and will not repair them. <br /> <br /> <br />TTENTION SNOWMOBILERS <br />IN ANOKA COUNTY <br /> <br />Are you a member of your local snowmobile club?
