City crews and contractors will continue to work throughout the day treating roadways per the City’s snow plan. Temperatures for both air and pavement are within the range where salt and beet heat is effective. Priority 1 roads have continued to improve with treatment. Plans call for moving operations to priority 2, 3 and 4 roadways today.
Even with all snow operation employees working around the clock, some roadways may be ice and snow-covered. City officials are encouraging people to avoid any unnecessary trips to give road crews room to work. If you must get out, stay alert and don’t drive distracted. Slow down, be patient, maintain a safe braking distance and allow extra time to reach your destination.
