Aviso de limpieza de nieve - 2/6/26
La ciudad está trabajando continuamente en la limpieza de nieve en toda la comunidad, especialmente en las zonas escolares, incluidas las rutas de autobús designadas.
A medida que las equipos se trasladen por la ciudad, colocarán letreros temporarios de “No estacionar”. Por favor, no se estacione en estas zonas durante este tiempo, ya que los vehículos estacionados pueden retrasar o impedir las operaciones de limpieza de nieve.
Agradecemos su cooperación y paciencia mientras trabajamos para completar esta medida de forma segura y eficiente.
Driveway Clearing Timing
It's recommended to wait until plow trucks have cleared your neighborhood before clearing your driveway.
Missed Alleys Requests
To report missed alleys, please wait for 48 hours after the snow event concludes. This delay allows crews to prioritize clearing main and secondary areas.
