SNOW
AND ICE REMOVAL PROGRAM:
Snow and ice control consists of
applying a melting agent (salt or Ice Slicer) to the streets during
and after a snowstorm. If the snow depth exceeds 3 inches or if drifting
occurs, the arterial and collector streets will be plowed. Should
it become necessary, snow will be windrowed to the center of the
street and removed. The Street Division will use about 200 tons of
Ice Slicer this winter. After testing Ice Slicer for the past 2 winters,
the Street Division has made the division to use Ice Slicer exclusively.
Little or no sweeping is required after the Ice Slicer has melted
the snow unlike when a sand/salt mixture is used. Under some conditions,
ice may form in the gutters where trees and buildings provide shade.
Ice build up is removed when it begins to interfere with traffic
and drainage. Residential streets are plowed when they are determined
to be impassable. |
