Snow Plowing

The City's Snow and Ice Control Policy describes how snow and ice control will be handled by the City once a snowfall hits.

Snow Plowing Priority System

Snow plowing is based on a priority system, starting with major roadways and emergency streets. When storms are continuous, or closely follow one another, operations will be repeated or continued on the routes of highest priority until all such roads are completed before moving onto streets of a lesser priority.

For example, crews will leave the priority #2 streets, even if not complete, to return to priority #1 and start over.

Parking Bans

Parking bans are put in place to assist crews to quickly and effectively complete snow clearing from city streets.

Sand and Salt Operations

In the Winter sand and salt trucks are out regularly during the week targeting high traffic roadways and problem areas throughout the City. With sand and salt, we would like drivers to keep in mind that that there are conditions that can limit its effectiveness. Salt, for example, will not melt the snow/ice if it's colder than -18 and sand can be quickly worn away from traffic on high traffic streets.
