Snow removal is the responsibility of the Street Department. Over 100 miles of street are plowed during and after a snow event with five (5) plow trucks and two (2) crews working 12 hour shifts.
Emergency snow routes are cleared first, and keeping them open is top priority. Primary and secondary streets are cleared as soon as possible. Alleys are plowed after all other streets are clear and passable.
Emergency Snow Routes:
Clay Ave.
Church St.
College Ave.
S. Diamond St.
W. Lafayette Ave.

**Contractors are responsible for providing their own barricades.
