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.

2) Second priority is given to designated collector roads, school zones, and the municipal airport.

3) Third priority is given to 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 the next falling refuse collection day when the starting point is determined.

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.

For seasonal information on the progress of snow and ice removal, residents can call 740-203-1810.
