Streets & Sanitation Departments
The City of Chubbuck Streets Department spends most of the warm weather months either directly repairing City streets or coordinating major road construction projects with independant contractors. We always try to get these jobs completed with a minimum of inconvenience to motorists, but some delays and detours are unavoidable.
Street Department Vision Statement
To help maintain a clean and safe environment for the citizens of Chubbuck.
The top function of the Street Department is to maintain all streets in reference to potholes and deterioration. The second prioritized function of Streets Department is to maintain the curb inlet and drainage fixtures in the City. Other responsibilities of Street Department include sweeping all city streets, installing and maintaining all of City street names, stop signs, speed limits, etc.
Compared to other types of intersections, roundabouts have demonstrated safety benefits.
- More than 90% reduction in fatalities*
- Up to 76% reduction in injuries*
- Up to 35% reduction in all crashes*
- Slower speeds are safer for pedestrians
* These statistics and images are provided by the US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration. For more detailed information, download their roundabout brochure or visit their website here
Roundabouts also have a large number of very positive environmental impacts:
-
Less pollution due to fewer stops, starts and idling time
-
Less power consumption due to no signal equipment
-
Often need less pavement and right of way area
-
Quieter operation than traditional intersections
-
More aesthetically pleasing and efficient
-
Roundabout intersections are also friendlier to both pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Pedestrians should walk around the outside, while bicycles flow with motorized traffic.
City Code calls for strict parking restrictions during what we call a “snow emergency”. When a “snow emergency” is declared, it will be widely publicized. A “snow emergency” will also be automatically placed into effect at any time in which the snow depth on the street has reached an accumulation of three inches or more. During a “snow emergency”, all vehicle parking on streets is prohibited between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM. The parking prohibition remains in effect until either the “snow emergency” is lifted, or the street is finally cleared of snow to the gutters.
The city has a responsibility to keep the streets as safe as practical for the driving public. Through our ordinances and policies, we strive to do that. We do not have the resources to be responsible for keeping your mail boxes and individual driveways open. We feel that the property owner must take that responsibility. The special centralized delivery box units available through the U. S. Postal Service do provide an option for mail delivery even under these conditions.
We would welcome hearing your comments and concerns. You can contact us via phone at 237-2430 or you can notify us online.
Procedure & Rules Regarding Snow Removal From Your Streets
Winter snows cause many problems for not only the traveling public, but also those city employees trying to remove it from the street. We do our best to remove the snow as quickly and efficiently as possible, given our crews and equipment. We would like to take this opportunity to remind you and clarify some aspects of our snow removal policy.
When a storm occurs or begins during off-duty hours (as most storms do), the police notify the maintenance men or crews on call to respond and begin removing snow. We have developed over the years, a list of trouble spots that need either first or frequent attention. Our people respond to these places first. Once those locations are plowed and sanded, they go on through the remainder of the city in a systematic manner, beginning with arterials and collectors, and plow open the streets.
The first trip through the city is only an effort to open streets, permitting two-way traffic and access by emergency vehicles. As time permits, which is usually after the storm, the crews follow through the entire city and plow snow from gutter to gutter. Vehicles that remain on the street during this process cause problems not only for themselves, but also create a safety hazard for plow operators and the traveling public as they try to negotiate around piles of snow left by plows going around those parked vehicles.
Please remove all recreational vehicles and other unnecessary vehicles from the street. Those vehicles that you find necessary to park in the street should also be removed at least during regular working hours.
When the city plows the entire street, we will attempt to deposit the snow in the gutter with as little snow as possible on the sidewalk. If you want to avoid shoveling out your driveway any more than necessary, you should wait until the city plows the street to the gutter before doing your driveway. Remember that snow from your sidewalks and driveways should be placed on your yard and not in the street. Also, place the snow taken from the curb portion of your driveway on the right side of the driveway as you face the street. Since the snowplow travels across the driveway from left to right, placing the snow on the right will keep the plow from putting it right back into the drive.
