1. How do I know if my street will be plowed?

Learn about the ice control program and street plowing and find out if your street will be plowed.

2. Why doesn't the city plow residential streets after every storm?

City policy is that residential streets are only plowed after a storm leaving more than 10 inches of undrifted snow depth and only after the primary and secondary routes are completely cleared. The only residential streets that you may see plowed are those in front of schools.

3. Why do the plows cover over the areas I just shoveled?

When snow plowing takes place, snow is not removed but rather pushed to the right side of the road. Snowplow drivers will make every effort to avoid plowing snow onto sidewalks or driveways. However, there may be time that this cannot be avoided and sidewalks or driveways may become blocked.
