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. <br />The City believes that reasonable ice and snow control is necessary <br />for the routine travel and emergency services. The City shall <br />provide such control in a safe and cost - effective manner keeping in <br />mind safety, personnel, environmental and budget constraints. The <br />City will use City employees, equipment and /or private contractors to <br />provide this 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 <br />operations will be conducted for snowfalls greater than two (2) <br />inches. When snowfall and icy conditions are less than two (2) <br />inches, chemical applications will be used. <br />-1- <br />Page 26 <br />
