January 19, 2019 - It will be a long night and weekend for Street Department drivers as they plow around the clock to battle the latest winter storm.
Tonight, drifting and continued precipitation are keeping crews on main roads, though they have been able to plow the connector secondary streets that are important to bus routes.
Once it stops snowing and the wind dies down crews will move to the side streets in neighborhoods, possibly as early as 2 a.m. If possible, residents are encouraged to find off-street parking so trucks can blade as close to the curb as possible. It takes about 48 hours to plow the City's side streets.
We encourage motorists to slow down around our plow trucks and to not follow too closely behind them.
Streets remain slick and motorists should allow for additional travel time tonight and tomorrow.
