Snow and Ice Control Goals, Objectives and Procedures Department of Public Works Operations Division 2010/2011 Winter Season
Goals and Objectives Plow all City streets within ten hours after cessation of all snow storms requiring plowing. Plowing generally is initiated when snowfall accumulation reaches
2” to 3” To treat all arterial and collector streets, bus routes, major hills and intersections with chemicals to achieve bare pavement at these locations.
Goals and Objectives To treat bridges, major hills and a portion of the arterial street network with liquid, anti-icing chemicals prior to certain storm events. To remove snow from
the downtown area, including parking lots when conditions warrant. To clear snow from sidewalks abutting public property.
Note on Residential Streets Though it is at times the outcome, bare pavement is not an objective on residential streets.
Snow and Ice Control Anti-Icing Anti-icing is proactive as opposed to reactive. It minimizes bonding of snow to pavement and facilitates clearing after plowing.
Snow and Ice Control Chemical Application Salt is applied to arterial and collector streets, bridges, major hills and bus routes to prevent bonding of snow to streets and, ultimately,
to achieve bare pavement in these locations.
Snow and Ice Control Chemical Application In temperatures below about 25 degrees F, salt is treated with liquid chemicals which lower the freeze point of the brine created from the
melting snow.
Snow and Ice Control Salt Storage The City currently has three salt storage facilities which hold approximately 4,900 tons. A typical winter will consume between 3,000 & 4,000 tons.
Snow and Ice Control Plowing The City utilizes 26 dump trucks and 3 motor graders to clear streets when implementing a City-wide plowing operation.
Snow and Ice Control Plowing Under normal circumstances, it takes approximately 10 hours to plow the entire City, but there are many factors which can influence this timeframe.
Snow and Ice Control Public Sidewalks The City maintains approximately 12 miles of sidewalk abutting public property utilizing utility tractors with blades and blowers.
Snow and Ice Control Downtown Snow Removal Snow is removed from the downtown area whenever pedestrian or vehicular travel becomes restricted.
What Is A Snow Emergency Point in time when vehicles must be removed from streets to allow for plowing operations City Ordinance -Council declares at two inches Historically, City
has provided a public announcement with specific, effective time
Is a Snow Emergency in Affect Every Time the City Plows? No Storms with forecast minimums up to two to three inches -likely will not declare snow emergency in advance Decision
to plow smaller snowfalls may not come until shortly before end of storm
Communication Services Goals and objectives Awareness Education Improved efficiency/effectiveness of plow operations Fewer tickets issued Overall improved customer satisfaction

Other Winter Weather Information It is a violation of City Ordinance to push or blow snow into the street after it has been plowed Trash and recyclables will not be collected if
they are placed on snow banks. Residents should either clear snow from an area on the terrace in which to place trash and recyclables, or place them on the driveway apron.
Other Winter Weather Information The Fire Department requests residents having fire hydrants adjacent to their property clear snow approximately three feet around the hydrant and to
also clear a path to the street.
