• Cul -de -Sacs <br />While some isolated cul -de -sacs are plowed immediately with the streets, <br />most are just "circled" by the truck plow and plowed completely at a later <br />time. When "circling", the truck makes one pass, usually in the clockwise <br />rotation, leaving the bulk of the snow in the center of the cul -de -sac and <br />opening all driveways. The cul -de -sac is plowed out completely by another <br />machine at a later time. <br />Snow Removal <br />The downtown area and several other locations must have the snow loaded <br />and trucked away because of lack of snow storage (see Attachment "C "). The <br />snow removal is normally accomplished within 48 hours of the completion of <br />snow plowing operations. <br />Ice Control & Sand/Salt Application <br />First Priority - Priority routes, high volume intersections, hills, curves, and <br />railroad tracks. <br />is Second Priority - Stop intersections, moderate volume intersections. <br />Third Priority - Residential intersections. <br />Elk River, like most communities, does not have the equipment or resources <br />to sand all streets end to end, and during extremely cold weather, chemicals <br />are not responsive as ice melters. Drivers must use caution when operating a <br />motor vehicle, especially during winter months. <br />Roadside Mail Boxes <br />The City shall not assume liability for mailboxes damaged during <br />snowplowing operations unless the Street Department determines that a <br />plowing unit has made direct contact with the box. Mailboxes that are <br />damaged by contact with City equipment will be repaired by Street <br />Department personnel as soon as possible after plowing operations are <br />completed. <br />Sod Damage <br />Sod damaged by City plowing equipment will be repaired using one of two <br />• procedures the following spring: <br />
