Which streets do they plow first?
Snow plows first clear all
arterial and major collector streets
serving emergency response facilities and heavy traffic. After those roads are clear, the plows begin clearing main subdivision streets serving schools and moderate traffic. Lastly, all other streets, including cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets are plowed. After a major storm, it may take two to three days for plow crews to clear all the streets.

1.
When do I need to move my parked car off the street in a snow storm?
City ordinance requires residents to move their cars off from the street when there is a
one inch
accumulation of snow or ice on the roadway. Cars parked on the street make it extremely difficult for snow plows to clear snow and ice from the pavement, especially in cul-de-sacs and on dead-end streets.
2.
When are the snow plows sent out?
The plow operators are dispatched
immediately
at the beginning of a storm and stay out continually during the storm. They are responsible for clearing over 300 center-lane miles of city roads, some of which require four to eight passes.
