GARBAGE PICK-UP REMINDER: Due to Labor Day Monday the 5th, garbage pick-up will be on Saturday, September 10th. Please have garbage set out by 6:00 a.m.
SIDEWALKS AND PARKING IN CITY:
There have been people parking or partially parking vehicles and trailers on sidewalks. SUGAR CITY CODE 5-2-6 PROBHITED PARKING, states in part that no person shall park on a sidewalk area. This also includes sidewalk areas in front of driveways. To avoid city citations, please see that all
sidewalk areas are clear and handicap accessible. No part of a car should be on a sidewalk. Other items making it difficult for wheelchair access should also be removed from sidewalks. Please review the city’s Parking Ordinance for further information.
MAILBOXES – NEW OR REPLACEMENTS: If you are going to install or replace a new mailbox this fall, we want to remind you that mailboxes are not allowed on city sidewalks. If you have questions about replacing a mailbox currently on a sidewalk, contact our Public Works Department for more information. Please be aware of the postal code for dimensions and proper placement of posts and mailboxes. This will also help our public works department when it comes time for snow removal. Proper height and distance from road will help eliminate the possibility for a snowplow coming in contact with your mailbox. Go to https://www.usps.com/manage/mailboxes.htm for more information and a diagram. The best mailbox supports are stable but bend or fall away if a car hits them.
The Federal Highway Administration recommends:
- A 4″ x 4″ wooden support or a 2″-diameter standard steel or aluminum pipe.
- Avoid unyielding and potentially dangerous supports, like heavy metal pipes, concrete posts, and farm equipment (e.g., milk cans filled with concrete).
- Bury your post no more than 24″ deep.
- Position your mailbox 41″ to 45″ from the road surface to the bottom of the mailbox or point of mail entry.
- Place your mailbox 6″ to 8″ back from the curb. If you do not have a raised curb, contact your local postmaster for guidance.
