Roads
City Street Department are working around the clock in 12-hour shifts to clear bridges and roads in accordance with the City’s Snow and Ice Removal Policy.
- Snow is plowed only on major streets.
- Snow will not be plowed on residential streets.
- It will be the responsibility of the property owner to clear their driveways and sidewalks.
- Snow removed from driveways, sidewalks, or parking areas shall not be placed in the street.
- An attempt will be made to follow set priorities; however, due to blowing or drifting snow, some streets must be plowed repeatedly to control drifting snow.
- In removing snow from the streets, it cannot be expected that all the snow will be removed down to bare pavement. What snow or ice remains will be salted or a salt/sand mixture applied to improve traction.

More information
The City stocks 1,500 to 2,000 tons of material to treat city roads on an annual basis and currently has plenty of material on-hand to treat roads and bridges in accordance with the City’s Snow Policy.
The City has seven trucks capable of snow plowing and sanding. These trucks are prepped well in advance — typically in November — for the upcoming season to ensure they are serviced and all equipment is in working order.
Some equipment, such as spreader boxes and snowplows, are detachable, which remain detached so the trucks can be used for other work when the additional equipment is not needed. However, they are easily reattached and can be ready to go very quickly.
The number of trucks and the equipment used during an event depends on the amount of accumulation. A minimum of two trucks are equipped and used during no or light accumulation. During major events, when significant accumulation is forecast, all seven trucks are utilized.
One Public Works staff member is on call 24 hours per day, seven days per week, and that person assesses the situation and determines how much additional assistance will be needed based on the severity of the event and call out other staff accordingly.
During major events, Public Works Department crews work 12-hour shifts for as long as needed.
Sanitation collection will continue as normally scheduled unless the trucks simply won’t run.
Water and sewer lines can also be an issue during extremely cold weather. Water Utilities crews are on stand-by and will respond as needed.
