City is working on clearing the streets

snow-removalThe city says crews assigned to arterial, primary and residential streets are continuing snow-clearing operations in response to winter weather that passed through the area last night.

Crews have split into two 12-hour shifts in order to provide around-the-clock coverage on primary and arterial routes. Sixty-five residential crews are plowing the City’s 3,800 lane-miles of neighborhood streets and cul-de-sacs.

Residents wanting to report slick spots or missed streets to the City’s 311 Call Center are advised that while crews are running assigned snow routes, it is assumed that all streets are slick. The 311 Action Center will accept requests for slick spots and missed streets after 12 p.m. Friday, January 3.

The city also is reminding residents to to park on the north or west sides of their neighborhood streets if off-street parking is not available. This enables plows to clear streets more efficiently, especially in cul-de-sacs and dead end streets. Residents parking on signed Emergency Snow Routes should be prepared to find alternate parking locations to avoid vehicles being ticketed or towed.
