FIRE HYDRANTS:

The City of West Fargo does not shovel out fire hydrants. Please adopt the hydrant near your home or business and keep it clear of snow. With the recent snow fall many hydrants have been buried and are barely visible. If a hydrant is buried it takes a firefighter valuable time and energy to shovel it out in order to gain access while a fire continues to burn. Make sure the hydrant is cleared of snow enough to be visible from the street, ideally it should have 1-3 feet cleared around it so the firefighter will have enough room to connect a hose. For your own safety, please take care of the hydrant near you so the firefighters can assist you as quickly as possible in case of an emergency.

LONG RANGE PLANNING FOR PATHS IN WEST FARGO:

The Fargo Moorhead Metropolitan Council of Governments is investigating long range plans for adding multi-use paths in West Fargo. The paths would be along the Diversion from West Fargo to Horace and be tied to other paths along the way, including the opportunity for bicycling and walking facilities within the 9th Street West corridor as well as Sheyenne Street/County Road 17 corridor. These paths would provide numerous opportunities for bicycle riding, walking, hiking and cross-country skiing. They would also increase connectivity of bicycle facilities in West Fargo through planning for off-road (multi-use paths) and on-road (roadway shoulders, bicycle lanes, etc.) bicycle facilities. To learn more about the paths, visit the Metrocog's website page dealing with the Sheyenne Diversion, Sheyenne Street Bicycle and Pedestrian Study 2009. This document is still in draft form and if you would like your comments in the study document they would need to be sent to West Fargo City Hall by December 10 (800 4th Avenue East) but your thoughts, concerns and comments are always welcome.
