The City's system almost always clears ALL streets within 24 hours of snow beginning to accumulate. Our well-developed snowplowing process includes many elements.
Drivers stay on the job after the regular workday has ended.
No parking is allowed on any city street for the next 48 hours, or until the full width of the street is plowed. The Police enforce this ban. Early in the morning, Maintenance personnel from the Street, Park, Facilities and Utilities Sections plow priority streets, usually clearing these heavily-used areas by morning. Plowing then begins on other streets. Sidewalk plows start at 7 a.m.
