Remove street obstructions

Snow removal guidelines
MEEKER | As the snow season approaches, please remove everything from the street, such as trailers parked along the curb or in cul-de-sacs, vehicles that are not used all of the time and basketball hoops. Basketball hoops must be stored far enough from the curb to allow the snowplow, including the large mirrors mounted to each side of the trucks, to clean next to the curb without damage to the mirrors. The Town of Meeker thanks you for all of the cooperation in the past and takes this opportunity to thank you in advance for your cooperation this year. If you have any questions or need further information, please call Meeker Town Hall 970-878-5344.
