Snow clearing operations have been in process since Thursday's storm, though keeping sidewalks clear has been a challenge because of continuing snow fall. The need to continue plowing and salting has delayed the ability to haul large snow piles from bus stops and other pedestrian areas.
Public Works is increasing their deployment beginning this afternoon. With the snow predicted for tonight/tomorrow, we expect crews to continue their operations through Tuesday. Public Works continues to coordinate with public safety partners to ensure roadways are prioritized to maintain emergency vehicle access. In case of emergencies, please call 911 to request immediate assistance.
The City has inspected hundreds of locations submitted as icy/unshoveled sidewalk complaints and issued many citations. Due to recent warm weather, we believe many additional locations have now melted. If you suspect a sidewalk is still in an icy/unshoveled condition that needs to be investigated, please open a new issue for our staff.
