Snow and ice removal

Municipal Services snowplow plowing a road
Your safety is our top priority

The Municipal Services Department is responsible for snow and ice control of public roadways within the city limits. Our goal is to plow or treat streets as soon as possible after the end of the storm, or within 24 hours after a major storm event.

Crews place the highest priority on major streets such as arterials and collectors (main roads that lead to arterials and have many side streets) to enable emergency service providers such as fire, ambulance and police safe access to protect the public, and because those streets serve a greater number of motorists. Second priority is given to lesser-traveled residential streets, including cul-de-sacs.

You can help expedite snow removal and stay safe by following these snow removal safety tips.
