With Carthage located on the shore of Lake Michigan, snow 和 snowstorms are a fact of life. 的 following is the College’s plan for the removal of snow 和 maintaining a safe environment.
的 公共安全办公室 personnel will monitor the condition of the Campus Drive, 所有其他校园道路, 校园停车场. Upon a sufficient accumulation of snow, the 公共安全办公室 will contact the Director of Buildings 和 Grounds. This will result in Carthage personnel reporting to work as soon as possible 和 our snow removal contractors alerted to begin snow plowing procedures. Any accumulation that does not block roads or lots will result in crews reporting to work at an early start to begin snow plowing procedures so that the campus primary roads, 员工停车场, 和 sidewalks are cleared for the start of classes.
During a snowstorm, crews will attempt to maintain the campus drives only. Parking lots will be plowed only after the storm has ended.
Plowing areas, in order of priority 和 scheduling:
-
Campus main drives, campus main sidewalk.
-
Sidewalks from residence halls 和 commuter lots to the academic buildings.
-
Commuting student 和 员工停车场.
-
Residential 和 unrestricted parking lots.
-
Secondary walks 和 service drives.
-
清理干净，再加手盐.
-
Campus houses 和 auxiliary residences.
在耕作活动期间, any vehicle parked or ab和oned on a campus drive, 在消防通道, or otherwise illegally parked 和 interfering with plowing activities, 可以立即拖走吗, without warning 和 at the owners’ expense.
紧急除雪情况:
Should the accumulation of snow become large enough that normal plowing will not adequately clear areas, Carthage may declare a snow removal emergency.
在紧急除雪期间, 和 upon notification via posters 和 announcements placed in the Todd Wehr Center 和 residence halls, resident students will be asked to move their vehicles in a specified order from assigned lots to allow for the removal of all snow. 的 notifications will identify the alternative parking location for that day 和 the sequence of lots to be cleared. 在下雪紧急情况下, any vehicles remaining in lots designated to be cleared may be towed at the owners’ expense. At the very least, these vehicles risk being str和ed in snowdrifts due to plowing activities.
Carthage personnel 和 our snow removal contractors will make all attempts to maintain a drivable path for vehicles through our lots 和 campus drives. For safety considerations, they must stay a safe distance from parked vehicles while plowing. Carthage personnel are not responsible for removing snow from a parked vehicle.
Carthage maintenance 和 safety personnel are not allowed to jump-start non-College vehicles.
