Page 3 <br />Normal plowing operations will be set up by the Street Superintendent or his <br />• designee. Start times will vary according to the depth of the snow and the <br />severity of the storm. Each operator will be responsible for his assigned <br />route. As routes are completed, equipment will be assigned to help finish <br />other routes. With an "average" snowfall of T' to 6 ", it is our goal to have all <br />streets and cul -de -sacs plowed in 8 to 12 hours. Sand/salt will be applied <br />during and immediately following plowing operations with special attention <br />given to priority routes, high volume intersections, hills, curves, and railroad <br />crossings. We do not have the resources to sand every street curb to curb, <br />end to end, so drivers must exercise caution during the winter season. <br />In the early morning hours of the day following our plowing operation, the <br />snow is hauled from the downtown area and several locations where <br />nonmotorized pathways are immediately behind the curb. <br />This operation requires the motor grader to windrow the snow, the loader <br />mounted snow blower to load it, and four or more trucks to haul the snow <br />away. The downtown clean up will be scheduled by the Street <br />Superintendent or his designee and will be coordinated with the contractor in <br />charge of cleaning the downtown sidewalks. <br />Nonmotorized Pathways <br />• The sidewalks that are designated as nonmotorized pathways will be plowed <br />at the same time as the street plowing. A member of the Street Department <br />will operate the sidewalk snowblower. <br />When the pathway system has been plowed, the snowblower will then clear <br />the skating and hockey rinks in Lion's Park. <br />• <br />
