Snow Removal
During snowfall events, City Crews focus first on main traffic corridors and then clear snow from local access streets. Certain routes in the City have been marked as emergency snow routes. You are asked to avoid parking on these routes during snowfall events.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to avoid plowing windrows (rows of snow) across the ends of driveways. We know that’s frustrating, but we hope you understand.
