During normal conditions, spot ice control material application in residential areas should be <br />limited to approximately every three hundred (300) feet. <br />Materials should not be applied during plowing operations until the final pass except for <br />intersections, stop signs, major roads, and school zones. <br />In residential areas, materials should be applied approximately one hundred (100) feet before <br />each intersection with a stop sign, depending upon the conditions present at each particular <br />location. Distances on major roads double, depending on circumstances. <br />Suspension of Operations <br />Operations shall continue until all roads are passable, if possible. Operations may be suspended <br />during periods of limited or zero visibility, extreme cold, dangerously high winds, or at such other <br />times that it would be reasonable to suspend snow plowing operations in the interest of the safety <br />of snow plow operators. Any decision to suspend operation is within the discretion of the <br />Contractor or Public Works Director, and may be based on prevailing factors including conditions <br />of the storm. <br />Accounting for Service <br />The road mileage for the streets plowed, the time spent, and amount of material (salt -sand) will <br />be logged by the driver. This information will be given to the Public Works Director, or if the work <br />is contracted, it will be sent with the billing. <br />Public Sidewalks and Trails <br />The removal of snow and ice from public sidewalks and trails is a lower -priority operation that will <br />begin after all public streets and public parking lots have been cleared of snow. <br />Identification of Sidewalks and Trails <br />The sidewalks and trails to be cleared by City crews shall be identified on a map, which shall be <br />approved by the City Council. The following is a list of criteria for selection of sidewalks and trails <br />to be selected for snow removal: <br />1. Adjacent to major roadways, higher traffic volumes <br />2. Higher pedestrian traffic <br />3. Important trail connections <br />4. Areas where plowed snow is greater <br />5. School walking routes <br />6. Areas not currently maintained by associations <br />7. Sidewalks and trails constructed to a minimum width of 60" <br />8. Areas directed by the City Council <br />Commencement of Operations <br />Sidewalk and trail snow removal will be completed during non -overtime hours whenever possible. <br />The criteria for implementing sidewalk and trail snow removal operations are as follows: <br />Snow accumulation of two inches or more <br />Drifting of snow that causes problems for pedestrian travel <br />Additional snowfall of two inches or more is not expected within 48 hours of normal <br />commencement <br />Level of Service <br />Sidewalks and trails shall be cleared of snow, to a width of 60", one time following a snow event <br />of two inches or more. Traction control materials, such as sand, salt and de-icing agents will not <br />be applied to sidewalk or trail surfaces. It is expected that public sidewalks and trails may have <br />few, if any, bare pavement spots. The snow removed shall be discharged alongside sidewalks <br />and trails in boulevard areas where appropriate. <br />
