Snow storms are expected this weekend, and Public Works operates 17 salt-and-plow routes on 90+ miles of roadway in South Fayette.

Here are some ways you can help their efforts:

Avoid parking on road

• Do not park vehicles on roads or culs-de-sac.

Remove obstacles

• Remove portable basketball hoops or other equipment that is blocking the road or hanging above the road.
• Trim back any overgrown trees or vegetation.

Secure mailboxes

• Ensure your mailbox does not extend over the edge of the road.
• As needed, repair your mailbox or post to withstand the force of snow pushed from the street onto the roadside. (The township repairs or replaces only mailboxes / posts that are actually struck by the plow blade.)

Shovel smartly

• Shovel your driveway AFTER the snow plow clears your road.
• Do not shovel your snow into the road.
• When standing in your driveway facing the road, shovel to your right.

Keep fire hydrants clear

• Clear a 3-foot diameter around fire hydrants.
• Shovel a path between the hydrant and the street.
