The City uses the following guidelines for snow and ice removal.
1) First priority is given to the state highways, emergency routes, and arterial roads, streets with dangerous hills or curves, and any road or lane which is blocked. Primary roadways will be maintained in passable condition at all times. Under a normal snow event all primary roadways will be treated, curb to curb, within 12 hours of the conclusion of the event.
2) Second priority is given to designated collector roads, school zones, and the municipal airport. Second priority roadways will be treated, curb to curb, within 12 hours of full clearance and passage of the primary roadways.
3) Third priority is given to main subdivision roadways, and then residential roads. Generally residential roads are cleared on a rotating basis, with crews starting in a different location in the city after each snowfall. Initial priority will be given to where the next following refuse collection day is to take place, once clearing begins. All residential roadways will be treated, curb to curb, within 48 hours following the conclusion of the event.
In Addition:
-
Plowing generally does not occur until an accumulation of 3 inches of material is on the roadway surface. Salting generally is done up to this point in time.
-
Centerline accumulated snow in the downtown business district will begin to be removed within 48 hours following the completion of residential roadways clearing.
-
Windrows left by City snow removal efforts are not cleared from private driveways or sidewalks.
