We are pleased that both the City and the Park Board have unveiled an enhanced snow removal response plan, informed by lessons from last year’s unexpected snow storm.
Changes include expanded snow removal coverage (e.g., on pedestrian pathways), enhanced response capabilities (e.g., expanded snow removal fleet), a priority clearing schedule, and increased salt capacity.
The City offers several tips to prepare for winter weather, including preparing your snow gear early, knowing your snow removal obligations, and getting your winter tires on. The City also reminds people about its Snow Angel program, which provides assistance for seniors who are unable to clear the snow in front of their homes.
