Street Maintenance crews from the Public Services Department have been working around-the-clock to spread a mixture of sand and ice-melt on high priority areas—bridges, major roads, intersections and hospital driveways. That work will continue until no longer needed to help increases vehicle traction at intersections, over bridges, and at other critical areas.
Street sweeper crews will begin operations to collect all sand spread throughout a storm event as soon as possible at the conclusion of severe weather impacts. It usually takes several weeks to complete cleanup operations.
