Know Midvale's plowing priorities and snow rules

Crews plow main roads first, then collector and neighborhood through-streets, then cul-de-sacs, dead ends and city parking areas.
Park off the street when snow is forecast; the page says street parking is not allowed once an inch has accumulated and until the street is cleared.
Clear your sidewalk, driveway approach and nearby fire hydrant, and keep snow out of the public road.
Stay well back from plows and use the Report a Problem section of the city site for issues.

Midvale at a glance

Salt Lake County · Utah

Midvale was founded in 1909 and now has about 36,000 residents at an elevation of roughly 4,380 feet. Its downtown strip, Midvale Main, is an arts and culture district that has joined the Utah Main Street Network, and the city has a historical society that runs the Midvale Museum. The Jordan River Parkway, which Salt Lake County maintains along the valley floor, is the area's main long trail.

The city website bundles utility billing, trash and recycling, building and safety, business licensing, code compliance and public records requests. The City Council page carries the meeting schedule, agendas, packets, minutes and a form for public comment. A report-a-problem page sends street, park and storm drain issues to public works. To track a decision, read the packet before the meeting and the minutes after it.
