When will the snow be removed from my street? 

Roads are plowed by priority. Snow emergency routes are plowed first, followed by secondary routes, intermediate routes, and then residential streets. The City’s SnowReport tracking system allows residents to view plowing priorities, check the status of individual streets, and submit concerns.

What is a Snow Emergency? 

During a snow emergency, parking is prohibited on designated snow emergency routes so crews can safely and efficiently plow and treat roads. Snow emergency routes are posted with red and white signs, and listed in the City Code. Vehicles left on these routes may be ticketed or towed.
