Non-priority streets are typically low-volume residential streets, which are only plowed if four inches of snow accumulation is present upon completion of priority streets. The secondary goal is to have all remaining priority streets plowed and any snow removed from priority streets within 3-5 working days. This goal is contingent upon the magnitude and duration of any snow event. The first goal is to have priorities one and two, as well as school and public transit routes, plowed, and deiced and/or sanded by 7:30 am, prior to the morning rush hour traffic. Average Snow Events (less than 6" of snow) The snow removal plan was designed so very few residents have to go more than a few blocks to get to a plowed street. The priorities are selected on the basis of traffic volumes, steepness of hills, public transit routes, proximity to schools, access to businesses, and low-volume residential streets. The plan divides the city streets into three priority categories: priority one, priority two, and priority three. The Street Maintenance Division has a snow removal priority plan.
