STREET MAINTENANCE |

|
Park Maintenance
 | Most of our park maintenance is contracted out, but if you notice
something that needs to be taken care of, please contact our
Public Works Department.
|
| We are always looking for volunteers to help keep our community
looking great. If you or your group would like to volunteer your
services to help maintain one of our parks, please contact us at (952)
249-4600.
We have even had groups donate plants and flowers. Something to
think about when you are thinning out your perennials. |
Potholes
| Potholes can be very dangerous, and hard on your vehicle. If you
notice a pothole on a road in Orono, please
contact us immediately.
|
| If the pothole is on a County Road, please contact Hennepin County
at (612) 596-0300.
|
| If the pothole is on a Private Road, it must be fixed by the
homeowners association or group in charge of maintaining these roads.
Unfortunately, the city doesn't track this information. |
Street / Traffic Signs
| Occasionally we will get a call that a street sign has been damaged,
or removed. If you notice a missing sign, please
contact us immediately!
A missing sign can be very dangerous if an emergency vehicle could not
find the location of a home!
|
| If you notice any other types of traffic or parking signs that have been
tampered with that could cause unsafe driving conditions, please
contact us immediately!
|
| We also have old street signs for sale, check out the section below. |
Street Sweeping
| The Orono Public Works department sweeps the streets in the spring and
at other times on an "as needed" basis if there has been an accident or storm damage or heavy construction.
If you notice a lot of debris in your area and need the streets swept,
please don't hesitate to call
our Public Works Department.
|
| Street sweeping has come to be regarded as an important element in
maintaining urban area water quality. Sand flushed into the streams,
ponds and lakes carries heavy metals, phosphorus and nitrogen along with
it. Organic matter like grass, leaves and pet waste decreases overall
water quality and clarity by providing nutrients for microbial and algae
growth. |
Traffic Signals
| Problems with the traffic signal at the intersection of Cty Rd 15 and
Cty Rd 19 call Hennepin County Public Works at
(612) 596-0300.
|
| Problems with traffic signals along Highway 12 call
Orono Public Works. |
|
|
|
| Ever wonder what happens
to the old street signs? They go to the Orono Public Works Collection
Yard.
|
| Like
something nostalgic, or just want that unique gift for someone special?
For a small fee you can have one of these signs for your very own!
Cost is $5.00 per sign.
