Why can't you plow my street now?

We wish we had enough snow plows and drivers to take care of every street right away, but our resources are limited, so we must adhere to a carefully laid out system for clearing the streets. If we allowed our plows to be diverted each time a special request is made, it would take longer to get all streets in the city cleared. 

Plowing priorities

1. All major streets. Examples include South Westnedge Avenue, Oakland Drive, Milham Avenue, Kilgore Road, Shaver Road, Lovers Lane, etc. 

2.All primary “feeder” streets leading into various residential neighborhoods, including access streets to all schools. 

3.All interior neighborhood streets.

4.Cleanup of cul‐de‐sacs and dead ends streets.
