MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council <br />® FRCA: Public Works Foreman Ulrich <br />DATE: January 12, 1989 <br />SUBJECT: PLOWING PROCEDURE ON CUL-DE-SACS <br />As you may know, we have received a number of complaints for <br />current procedure on plowing the City's cul-de-sacs. The <br />procedure, at present, is that they are plowed in conjunction <br />with the designated route of that piece of equipment. This <br />procedure was adopted because it is the most efficient manner in <br />which a cul-de-sac can be plowed. To my knowledge, there are <br />only three methods in which a municipality can clean a <br />cul-de-sac. I will list them below followed by advantages and <br />disadvantages for the City and residents. <br />METHOD #1 CUL-DE-SACS PLOWED DURING INITIAL CLEANING AND SANDING <br />OF ENTIRE ROUTE <br />City Advantages <br />1. Cul-de-sac is completely plowed and sanded. <br />2. We do not have to return to do the clean up. <br />There is no added cost. There could be <br />an excess of approximately $250 if not on <br />overtime. The street does not freeze and snow, <br />consequently, does not get packed down on the <br />street. <br />4. Each resident has an equal share of snow and this <br />method takes less time. <br />Resident Advantages <br />1. Cul-de-sac is cleaned and sanded with the entire <br />City. <br />2. They shove] the di:veway only once. <br />City Disadvantages <br />There is virtually no disadtantage in this method for <br />the City. <br />Resident Disadvantages <br />1. Driveways could be filled with snow due to the <br />plow being able to selectively deposit the snow. <br />11 <br />
