Help your neighborhood look its best and stay safe by reading some of the latest notices and updates from the City of Frankenmuth. H E L P U S C L E A R T H E S T R E E T S Q U I C K L Y ! The City's priority when clearing streets is safety. For that reason, we ask that you please park vehicles in residential driveways and leave the streets clear for plows. No vehicles should be parked in the streets from 2 am to 6 am November 1st through April 30th. Plows are unable to clear streets efficiently when vehicles are parked on city streets during snowfall. The City has established primary and secondary routes for plowing. Primary streets are major streets within the City that experience high traffic volumes, including Genesee, Jefferson, Main and Franklin Streets. The City plows these major streets and those with hills, first. During heavy snow, crews may have to clear primary streets again which may delay snow removal on secondary streets (typically within neighborhoods). Snow plowing and removal services on secondary streets begin once primary routes have been cleared. The City may send plows onto secondary local streets, depending upon current and forecasted weather conditions. Salting and deicing efforts are typically applied to local streets when appropriate, based on current and forecasted conditions. Although the City does not have an ordinance requiring sidewalks to be cleared, the City has a number of residents that walk throughout the winter. The City encourages property owners to remove snow from sidewalks. If you have a private snow plowing contractor remove your snow, please ask them not to pack or pile snow at sidewalk openings.
