CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW I PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT <br /> (d) In times of extreme snowfall, streets may not always be immediately cleared of snow <br /> completely. An initial pass will try to plow the street as wide as possible to allow for <br /> vehicular passage. Subsequent passes will attempt to clear the remaining snow from the <br /> street. Clean up operations will occur last to clear intersections and snow storage areas <br /> along corners and County intersections. <br /> (e) Widening and clean up operations may occur on the initial day of snow plowing or on the <br /> following working day for most winter storms. There may be major winter snow storms that <br /> will necessitate additional time to complete widening and clean up operations. <br /> 2. Trails and Sidewalks Operations <br /> (a) Trails and sidewalks adjacent to streets will typically be plowed after the adjacent street <br /> has been cleared of snow. In general, the snow will be pushed onto the boulevard area <br /> furthest from the street. In times of extreme snowfall, subsequent passes may be needed <br /> to clear additional snowfall that has fallen or been discharged from street snow plowing <br /> operations onto the trail or sidewalk. <br /> (b) Trails and sidewalks will be plowed, blown, or swept depending on the amount and type of <br /> snowfall. The City will attempt to clear trails and sidewalks as thoroughly as possible, but <br /> they may not be cleared of all snow and ice or maintained to bare pavement. <br /> 3. Municipal Parking Lots Operations <br /> (a) City-owned parking lots that are generally empty of parked vehicles and/or whose facilities <br /> closed for business at the time of plowing will typically be plowed in the most efficient <br /> manner to clear the accumulated snow from the drive lanes and parking spaces. Parking <br /> lots that contain a higher number of parked vehicles make plowing the entire lot difficult. In <br /> these cases, the drive lanes may be plowed for vehicular passage. Plowing of parking <br /> spaces and other clean up operations may need to occur later after the lot becomes <br /> emptier of parked vehicles. <br /> (b) The City will attempt to clear the parking lots as thoroughly as possible, but they may not <br /> be cleared of all snow and ice or maintained to bare pavement. The City may make <br /> exceptions with handicapped stalls and associated circulation routes. <br /> 4. Other Operations <br /> (a) Metro Transit is responsible for winter maintenance of their bus stops in the city. However, <br /> if commuters are subject to hazardous or unsafe conditions due to lack of adequate space <br /> to wait, the City may attempt to clear the waiting area in conjunction with snow and ice <br /> control for trails, sidewalks, or clean up operations. <br /> (b) Private property owners are responsible for clearing snow and ice control activities <br /> associated with their properties. The City will not perform snow plowing or ice control <br /> operations for any driveways, streets, sidewalks, or parking lots owned by private entities. <br /> D. Determining Priority Snow Plow Routes and Coordinating Operations <br /> 1. Priority Snow Plow Routes for Streets <br /> (a) The City has designated certain streets as "Priority Snow Plow Routes" to set precedence <br /> for which streets provide the most benefit to the City when snow plowing and ice control <br /> demands exceed available resources. This designation was generally based on street <br /> function, traffic volume, and importance to the welfare of the community. The highest <br /> ranking streets typically have higher traffic volumes and connect major sections of the city <br /> and region, whereby providing emergency access for fire, police, and medical services to <br /> these various sectors. These high-ranking streets typically have a functional classification <br /> as arterials and collectors. Other designated priority streets that provide additional <br /> emergency access have functional classifications as local streets. These local priority <br /> streets also provide good access to schools, civic centers, commercial businesses, <br /> industrial parks, and other points of interest. Table 1 lists the street segments that make <br /> up the Priority Snow Plow Routes and includes sub-ranking and other considerations used <br /> in determining priority routes. A map showing the street segments and sub-ranking of the <br /> Priority Snow Plow Routes is included as Exhibit B. <br /> 4472- SNOW PLOWING AND ICE CONTROL POLICY 3 <br />
