As winter weather approaches, residents’ cooperation and patience with Public Works during snow plowing and salting operations is appreciated. Please place snow on parkways, leaving the street free for plow trucks. For snowfall over two inches, vehicles must be parked away from snow routes until snow removal operations are completed. There is a prioritization to the winter operations based on emergency response requirements, volume of traffic, and other criteria. Find out more about snow routes and winter weather operations.
