City Government

A "Snow Removal Alert" means that an authorized city official has declared that snow removal operations will begin on public streets. Usually a Snow Alert is issued once we have received 2" or more of snow; however, alerts are also based on weather conditions such as wind and ice, as well as the amount of additional snow forecasted, and city crews may begin removing snow from emergency routes before the alert is issued. The local news media will announce when a Snow Removal Alert has been declared.

The city' first priority is to remove snow from the Core area of the city and Snow Emergency Routes.  Before parking in these areas be especially aware of weather conditions, you may not want to park if snow is predicted.
