Why hasn't the snow plow cleared my street?
Snow and ice are cleared based on priority routes as shown on the Snow Removal Priority Map. First priority roads will be treated until they are safe to travel. Crews will then move on to second priority roads. If the weather event is still in progress, crews will move back to first priority roads until they are once again safe. Despite the use of four-wheel drive and chains, some streets are still not safely navigable by the City's fleet. A decision to close a road may be made if it is deemed too hazardous to safely treat.
