Riverside Cemetery Introduces Interactive Burial Search and Plot Map

The City of Mt. Pleasant is pleased to announce an upgrade to Riverside Cemetery’s mapping and search system, designed to make visiting and navigating the cemetery easier and more accessible.

Riverside Cemetery now offers an interactive plot map with burial search features. Visitors can locate specific plots and connect with their mobile device map applications for walking or driving directions directly to individual plots.

Previously, the cemetery provided a traditional map showing only plot sections. The new interactive platform offers detailed information and real-time navigation, making it easier for families and guests to find what they need.

The interactive map and burial search are available now on the City of Mt. Pleasant website. The tool works on most smartphones, providing a convenient experience whether planning ahead or navigating on-site.

Sidewalk Snow & Ice Removal Reminder

As winter weather settles in, the City of Mt. Pleasant is asking residents to help keep our community safe and accessible for everyone.

Clear sidewalks play a major role in making it possible for neighbors, students, mail carriers, and visitors to move through town safely. Owners and occupants of properties within the City are responsible for clearing the public sidewalks that adjoin their property.

To support safe travel throughout the community, follow these winter sidewalk guidelines:

  • Sidewalks should be cleared of snow and ice within 24 hours after snowfall, including spaces around mailbox approaches.
  • This expectation applies even in areas where the City later clears sidewalks.
  • Keeping sidewalks free of ice and snow reduces falls, supports school routes, and helps maintain accessibility for everyone who relies on walking as a primary mode of transportation.
  • If sidewalks remain uncleared, the City may issue a civil infraction or perform the clearing, with associated costs billed to the property. These measures are in place to help maintain a safe environment for the whole community.

The City also maintains certain sidewalk routes after plowing streets, alleys, and parking lots. To see which sidewalks are cleared by City crews, view our sidewalk snowplow map at www.mt-pleasant.org/maps.

We appreciate everyone doing their part this winter. Small efforts at each property add up to a safer, more walkable Mt. Pleasant for all.
