CITY OF LITTLE CANADA <br />SNOWPLOWING POLICY <br />Section 1. Introduction. The City of Little Canada (City) <br />believes the residents through proper control of ice and snow should <br />have access to all roadways in the County and State road systems. The <br />City believes that reasonable ice and snow control is necessary for the <br />routine travel and emergency services. The City shall provide such <br />control in a safe and cost - effective manner keeping in mind safety, <br />personnel, environmental and budget constraints. The City will use <br />City employees, equipment and /or private contractors to provide this <br />service to its residents. <br />Section 2. Commencement of Snow and Ice Control Operations. The <br />Public Works Superintendent will decide when to begin snow or ice <br />control operations. The criteria for the decision are: <br />(1) Snow accumulation of two inches or more; <br />(2) Drifting of snow that causes problems for travel and <br />closing of streets; <br />(3) Icy conditions which affects travel; and <br />(4) Time of snowfall in relation to use of streets; <br />Snow and ice control operations are expensive and involve the use of <br />trained personnel and equipment. Consequently, snowplowing operations <br />will be conducted for snowfalls greater than two (2) inches. When <br />snowfall and icy conditions are less than two (2) inches, chemical <br />applications will be used. <br />
