(from PW standpoint)
1) Follow existing ordinance. Residents are responsible for removing snow from sidewalks.
2) PW plows trails.
3) Downtown District
a) Contract out in entirety
b) PW removes/clears snow in front of businesses and areas without snow storage (i.e.
lawns/boulevards). Business owners would be responsible to shovel snow to curb line for
removal.
4) PW does all sidewalks and trails. Would need additional equipment for sidewalks.
5) Timing for removal. How soon would the snow need to be removed?
a) As soon as plows go out would require an increase in staffing or delay in street plowing.
b) 24hrs may need additional staffing as crews maybe cleaning, winging and salting streets.
c) 48hrs could likely be handled by staff on hand.
6) Salt. Would we salt the trails/walks?
