City of White Bear Lake
VII. SIDEWALK SNOW REMOVAL
As there are a limited number of personnel available, sidewalk cleaning will begin as soon as
possible after significant snowfall and continue until complete unless interrupted by changing
weather conditions, equipment failure or other factors. The City will maintain sidewalks by moving
snow with a snowblower or plow. Sidewalks will be cleared of accumulated snow, but will not be
maintained to a “clean pavement” condition (i.e., one to two inches of snow will remain on
sidewalks after snowblowing operations). Sidewalks along major arterial roads such as trunk
highways and county roads, which are impacted by plowing operations of other agencies, will be
open as feasible during winter months. Sidewalks will be cleared as close as feasible to pedestrian
push-button pedestals.
Sidewalks are sorted into three groups.
PRIORITY 1
Downtown sidewalks, school walking routes and high use areas along main roads.
PRIORITY 2
Walks expanding out from the school and along major roads.
PRIORITY 3
Residential and industrial areas.
