Preparation for Wintry Conditions

Snow is in the forecast, which means the City is working hard to prepare our public roads and facilities for wintery conditions. Our Public Works crew have begun spraying deicer on priority routes to help make sure they are kept clear so emergency services can move through the city.

Here’s how residents can help:

Stay off the roads if you can.

Go slow. If you must drive, give yourself plenty of space and take it slow. It will be slippery, especially as things freeze and refreeze overnight.

If you are parked on the street, please move your car so our snowplows (Golden Eagle, Plowtallica, SanderYacht, and Jam On) can safely navigate your street. For drivers, please maintain a safe distance behind snowplows (100 feet plus) and never pass a snowplow, especially on the right.

Safety is a community effort. Please shovel the sidewalk outside of your property, your neighbors and fellow pedestrians will appreciate it, and remember to clear storm drains to prevent snowmelt flooding.
