Winter took its time, but it made itself known with multiple snowstorms under our belt already. Thank you to our snowplow crews for all their hard work clearing the roads. We also understand that it can be frustrating if it takes a while for the plows to come down your street. Streets are plowed in a specific order during a snowstorm for a reason. The major arteries are plowed first to help people get in and out of town and ensure that emergency vehicles can get where they need to go.
Here's the order streets are plowed:
- Priority 1 – Major streets are cleared first to open routes for emergency vehicles
- Priority 2 – City residential streets
- Priority 3 – Circles and cul-de-sacs
- Priority 4 – Parks and trails, parking lots, city buildings
