| Snow & Ice Removal

When the snow falls and streets in the city become a challenge to drive on,
the Department of Public Works crews start the battle of man and machine
against the weather. The priority is to keep the streets safe and the traffic flowing.
Our crews are highly skilled in snow removal and dedicated to meet the challenge
no matter what Mother Nature should throw at them. They work long hours far into
the night and spend much time away from their families to make the streets safe for
the next day?s travel. This winter when you see the flashing yellow light through your
window and hear the sound of steel on pavement, give our crews a thought. Tomorrow?s
travel will be a little easier for you.

What is a snow emergency?
When weather conditions dictate a heavy amount of snowfall is imminent
or is already falling, a Snow Emergency may be declared by the Commissioner
of Public Works.
What should I do in a Snow Emergency?
The greatest effect residents feel during a Snow Emergency is the
parking restrictions on streets. Residents should limit their travels until plowing
and salting crews have cleared the snow from streets. Residents should also
stay tuned to their TV or radio for information regarding snow emergency information
and changing weather conditions.
How are residents told about Snow Emergencies?
The Public Works Department contacts the local news media including radio
stations, newspapers and television stations. The information is then broadcast
or published to residents.
