National Engineers Week in all of Hinckley February 14-20, 2010

As the snow begins to fall here in Hinckley, it brings to mind the Village Policy Regarding Snow and Ice on Public Sidewalks.

It is the responsibility of owners and persons in control of property fronting or abutting paved sidewalks to remove snow and ice from public sidewalks within 24 hours after a snowfall or freezing precipitation; or, if snow and ice are too hard for removal, to cover the snow and ice on public sidewalks with abrasive materials within 24 hours after snowfall or freezing precipitation (Hinckley Municipal Code Sec. 34-31(b)(18)).

The Village will focus on snow removal of streets and alleys and sidewalks fronting public property. This is in effort to control costs associated with snow removal during a time of economic uncertainty. When streets and alleys are sufficiently cleared of snow and ice, the Village will address the remaining public sidewalks.

We appreciate your help in this endeavor. If everyone does their part to clear the public rights-of-way of snow and ice, we will all have a safer, happier winter season.

Sincerely,

Dan P. Godhardt, Village President

The Village of Hinckley has a No Burn Ordinance that prohibits the burning of leaves, grass, twigs and/or branches. Furthermore, the Village IS NOT picking up leaves until October. If you need to dispose of such items, please come into the Village Hall to purchase lawn refuse stickers. They can be purchased for $2.85 each. For more information, see page 38 (white pages) of the Hinckley/Big Rock 2007-2008 HomePages phone book.

Don't forget to get your construction permits BEFORE you begin construction or the fees could double!
