What is the goal for clearing city streets following a snow event?
The Streets Department strives to have all streets clear and safely drivable 36 hours after the snow has stopped falling, beginning with the main traffic routes. However, the 36-hour countdown starts over with each new snowfall, as the main thoroughfares must be cleared again.
